God’s redemptive plan for man after the fall
of Adam and Even in the Garden of Eden was that through God the Son becoming
flesh; dying; shedding his blood; conquering death, hell and the grave; and
rising on the third day man would be redeemed to his rightful position as long
as he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
Jesus was fully human and fully God for thirty-three years. His destiny was that redemptive plan, which
was to die.
Now as we see in the Garden of Gethsemane,
Jesus did have a choice in whether He would fulfill that destiny. As He prayed to God the Father, He said,
“Nevertheless, Father, Your will be done and not mine” (Mark 14:36). He made a choice to obey the Father and carry
out His divine destiny. So even though
God has a plan for us just as it says in Jeremiah 1:5, we have a choice in
whether or not we are going to go along with His plan for our lives.
