Yes you are right, there is a long-term plan contained in the real Jesus story. I have a legal will, whereby I leave an inheritance of all that I own, to my children and in turn to their children. Another name for a will is a testament. The first testament contained promises to mankind if you like, the first will. You asked for it here is the Bible. *[[Heb 9:15]] KJV* And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. *[[Heb 9:16]] KJV* For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. *[[Heb 9:17]] KJV* For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. *[[Rom 8:15]] KJV* For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father (or father father). *[[Rom 8:16]] KJV* The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: *[[Rom 8:17]] KJV* And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;
Yes God has a long term plan to make people in his image, likewise Satan has a long term plan to deny mankind that. Jesus warned believers of what it would be like in the last time. *[[Mat 24 ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. If Jesus is no one of importance, why is there such a ground swell of opposition to him and his teachings. No one is after Buddha and Krishna and their stories. Just another observation from my understanding of God's plan. By the way Mary Magdalene received the Holy Spirit on the first out pouring of it on the day of Pentecost Acts Ch 2. Just as Mary, Jesus mother and the other disciples did. I received the same Spirit in 1989, which makes them my brothers and sisters and God my father.
