Footnote:
Jesus was "predestined" to become the Christ, yes; but as Jesus explains ("The Star of Bethlehem and the Three Wise Men,") "(...) there was no Messiah until I had obtained that sufficiency of the Divine Love in my soul that enabled me to have knowledge of my immortality and until I had been anointed as the Christ by John's baptism for me; and the fact is, that although it was destined for me to be the Messiah, as I now know, yet the fact is, that if my free will had not acted in accordance with the Will of the Heavenly Father there would not have been a Messiah, the Father having left the destiny of my life to my own making and choosing."
And so, it was most true what was written in Roman 5:19, "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one man's OBEDIENCE many will be made righteous."
