GOD'S WILL PRESENTS YOU WITH MULTIPLE CHOICES
“These two ways of world ministry were: (1) His own way—the way that might seem most pleasant and profitable from the standpoint of the immediate needs of this world and the present edification of his own universe. (2) The Father’s way—the exemplification of a farseeing ideal of creature life visualized by the high personalities of the Paradise administration of the universe of universes.” [UB 136:4:7]
Thought Adjuster: “The above expose clarifies which were Jesus’ options regarding his public ministry. As a human of the realm, “Jesus was always torn in his human heart by two opposing courses of conduct.” He could conduct his public ministry focusing on the here-and-now. He could also widen its outreach by considering the potential ripple effect his decisions could exert on his universe at large while keeping at heart the generational future.
Both ways were acceptable, as the Son of Man had earned the title of Son of God. The free will prerogative always presents you with multiple choices. Whether Jesus focused on the most urgent needs of his fellow men and women or the long-term enlightenment of those under his legitimate sovereignty, both options were altruistic—and, therefore, wholly acceptable.
Human creatures are prone to entertain a shorter-term vision, as they have to deal with a flurry of challenging predicaments in need of remediation. On the other hand, the divine will operates on an infinite level, as it encompasses all that was, is, and ever will be.
Human beings have then to determine the scope of their area of influence. Jesus decided to embrace the long-term vision so that his ministry would have a universal impact. He was not looking for personal gain but to make the most of his days as a human creature, even though it may seem that his tragic death on the cross was a large-scale setback. In reality, he was reaching out beyond the veil of flesh to bring back myriads of free will sentient creatures to ‘his fold’ through the exemplary moral life he led.”
