Continuing from my previous posts: The resurrected Jesus Christ is there for us to fix a conflict of interest we have. We have a conflict of interest with God. God does things which we feel are not in our interest, and His plans include more of this. So He sent Jesus. Jesus will bring us under his umbrella, and be the good shepherd we need. God will continue His plans in the world, leading to some terrible times ahead, but we have Jesus Christ, if we believe in him and remain disciples to his teachings, being taught according to the truth provided in him. Over time there will be more and more of the fulfilment of what God will accomplish in the world, some of which is not what we would consider to be in our interests, but Christ Jesus is an umbrella from this storm, and as Lord, Jesus presides over it all. We cannot easily understand all that God will be doing, but when it is all fulfilled under God, Jesus will be given more and more influence, and then will submit forever to God, bringing us under him into the right position with God.
