Thank God our Savior does not have such a critical heart!

Seems to me that the shepherd/pastor went out of the church to find the lost. Not wait for them to show up once a year.
They would be like the prodigal son visiting his father once a year for his birthday but then going back to the worldly ways.
Those who come to church once a year every year are surely the repentant converts aren't they? They are so faithful to come once a year every year you can just tell they are so genuine. And the pastors get so excited too they put out extra chairs and wish them well until the next years Easter. They keep God happy I'm sure as they do their yearly service and function in their spiritual giftings once a year.
I guess the anointed easter eggs that the stores sell really work!
