Everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled

Luke 18:31
Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. 

Our Lord Yshua had a very focussed mission. From start to finish he knew what He was going to do. However, He always had time for other requests that came up throughout His ministry. Nevertheless, as He reminded His disciples, His mission had already been written by the prophets hundreds of years before. For us today, even though we have a will to choose, God has plans to accomplish His will. We can surrender our wills, just as we surrender ourselves to Lord Yshua and be part of God's will, or we can follow our own course totally separate to God's will. It may be worthwhile noting that those close to Him, will be compelled to follow Him by the Holy Spirit.
