Suppose I had at Circle six friends. Everyone else there either ignored me or despised me, and those who despised me despised also my friends. Would I go there to see my friends? The Lord endures this creation for the sake of His friends, hoping to gain more of them. His strategy is to put himself right in the middle of things so that people have to do something about Him. He will endure the hate to gain the love. The ones that hate do not matter. The ones that love are worth everything.
