We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
Sometimes pain intensifies a sinner’s hatred towards God. You can feel this man’s hostility towards the Son of God: “If you’re God, why don’t you do something?”
Do not underestimate how much the human heart hates God. The Scriptures tell us about the last day when God’s judgments are poured out. What do we find on that day? Do we find sinners repenting? No, the Bible tells us that people will call on the rocks to fall on them (Revelation 6:16), “We’d rather die than bow before you!”
