Jesus said that it was the hungry and thirsty that are going to be filled... not those attracted only by the packaging. A hungry or thirsty man could care less what the package looks like!
I will agree with the apostle and say I have nothing to preach save Jesus and him crucified. I am not sure how you make a bitter cup, a bloodied back, a crown of thorns, a reed of ridicule, a rugged cross and three nails attractive. Can you give me some pointers please?
