What is the highlight of God's eternal plan before creation?
The cross is the highlight of God's eternal plan laid out before anything was created. According to His predetermined counsel, Christ's suffering, death, and resurrection were not surprises but central to the blueprint for the ages. Scripture consistently presents this as God's blueprint, so the crucifixion was no accident.
Les explains that the highlight of God's eternal plan, laid out way back before anything was created, was the cross. In God's predeterminate counsel, Israel took and crucified and slain Christ, but God was not caught by surprise. It was all in that eternal plan of the ages that Christ must suffer. Les ties this to 1 Corinthians 15, noting the predetermined plan of the ages that Christ would suffer and die, but He would also be risen from the dead.
