Honestly the truth is that the Gospel is preached and our sight as Christians has been really short because we expect immediate transformation, But truth is the God we serve is one that is organized and the master planner. When Jesus was handed over to the mob he could have been saved by Pontious Pilate but it was destined to happen, so when Pontius pirate washed his hands he had done his part but it took the whole death procedure for the veil to be torn and the people to truly see that he was the son of God. So someone's redemption is in progress, you're just a messenger in God's handy work but not God himself. So preach but let God meet these individuals in the time he has set as long as you deliver as he commands. We are imitators of Christ and not Christ himself.
