Just as gold is purified in the fire, so the soul is purified in sufferings. - Søren Kierkegaard

He was extremely important to his contemporaries, who wanted nothing more than to see in him the Expected One; they wanted almost to press it upon him and and to force him into the role - but that he then refuses to be that!

You wanted God's ideas about what was best for you to coincide with your ideas, but you also wanted him to be the almighty Creator of heaven and earth so that he could properly fulfill your wish. And yet, if he were to share your ideas, he would cease to be the almighty Father.

My doubt goes like this: How could the Loving One have the heart to let human beings become so guilty that they got his murder on their consciences?
