Craig @4,
I am so happy that you understand the message!

TL,
Perhaps, the church needs an extensive study on how the Lord Jesus Christ as both Messiah and Husband treats His Body/Bride and raises her to sit beside Him.

Amen!

Kay,

And the irony of all that is that God, let me repeat, God condescended to die like a common criminal for us! What more does it take for humans to “get” it?

I don’t know. God experienced frustration too when He asked what more could He have done?

Isaiah 5:1–4 (NAS)
Parable of the Vineyard
1 Let me sing now for my well-beloved
A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard.
My well-beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.
2 He dug it all around, removed its stones,
And planted it with the choicest vine.
And He built a tower in the middle of it
And also hewed out a wine vat in it;
Then He expected it to produce good grapes,
But it produced only worthless ones.
3 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
Judge between Me and My vineyard.
4 “What more was there to do for My vineyard that I have not done in it?
Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes did it produce worthless ones?

Indeed what more could God have done?
