did not subsequently make everyone else as good as Jesus.
Choice. We have free choice and we can choose to be His children or choose not to be. Love means nothing if there is no choice to not love. Heaven would mean nothing to us because we would not understand hell. And we would never understand sacrifice if we hadn't seen Jesus on the cross.
God wanted children, not robots. Whether they be flesh or not, robots don't really love, they just follow the programming. God freed us from the programming, hoping for children. That is the joy set before Him, eternity with His children who really understand love.

See post 15. Jesus had free will, as did Mary, as do angels. They’re not robots.
I purposely did not raise the issue as a direct question. There is no answer or we’d have found it by now.
Faith is essential.
