Wow! So it was actually God all the while. I had always thought all the salvation thing was started by Christ Jesus. It was actually God the Father (through the mouth of one of the Angels < Rev. 5 >) that started the journey to our redemption. HE (God the Father) said (through the Angel): Who shall I send and who will go for ME??? Then Christ volunteered to do that. Jn 3:16

Isn't that amazing??? What if God hadn't asked the question?
 
And I think Christ would have still done something (Christ being as Merciful) if the Father had not yet made a move.
 
We see the plan of salvation laid out in Genesis
 
I love the old hymn that says:

'What raised the wondrous thought?
Or who did it suggest,
That blood bought saints to glory brought
Should with the Son be blessed?

Father, the thought was Thine,
And Thine alone could be.
Fruit of the wisdom, love divine,
Peculiar unto Thee.'

Nice one...though a little sophisticated

A corollary is the old Southern US saying about the book of Revelation.

"I read the last pages of the book, and: our side won!"
