It is difficult to find a man who truly hates Jesus; it is all too easy to find a man who despises his fictional notion of who Jesus is. There will be deep regret on the last day when the wicked meet the true Jesus in full, who will be nothing like they imagined Him to be. The weeping of the lost will erupt when they finally see the true beauty of the Jesus they rejected, devastated by the scope of their loss. -David Sliker

The mystery of an omnipotent God who sends messengers to invite guests to a wedding rather than command by force speaks volumes about Him. He has all power, yet He invites - and His invitation is: "Come to the wedding of My Son and His Bride"; He loves romance, love, and beauty. He is the Creator and Sustainer of All Things, and yet He delights when humans play a role in shaping reality, culture, and the world around them. His name is "Wonderful"; thus every king should joyfully submit to His leadership; yet He is also "Counselor": He comes alongside to serve. -David Sliker
