“Friends, don't be afraid to go home. The Heavenly Father is waiting. Not because He wants to give you a whipping. Not because He wants to rub your nose in your failures, but because He had a Son who was a composite failure. He had a Son who tried to have this great ministry, had thousands of followers.

He died His Father's Son, stricken with grief, so overloaded with guilt that He had to look away, His Father could not look at Him.”
