“Christ respects the freedom of those who have rejected and humiliated Him, waiting until the end of time, on the day of Universal Judgement, to repent, if they wish.   Christ respects people’s freedom to accept or reject Him. However, his final judgement shows us that He also respects His own freedom, not only ours, namely, the freedom to evaluate what we have done with our freedom.”
(Patriarch Daniel of Romania, Bright Week message)
