From the very beginning, many who saw and heard the Christ just walked away, unbelieving. The Creator lovingly preserved their liberty. His coming as a man did not overwhelm the minds and hearts of all those who encountered Him. Not then, not today. He shone His light before humans, and many of them turned away.
On one occasion when hundreds turned silently away from His words, He asked his disciples: “Will ye also go away?” Although He would have let them go, too, these few stood their ground. He did not desire the acquiescence of slaves, but the friendship of free women and free men standing erect.
