God is love, but God is also light and truth and just. He is a God who is merciful and forgiving, but who will by no means clear the guilty. Jesus is not only the Savior of sinners but the Judge of all men. This is why the true prophets had broken hearts and Jesus Himself wept over Jerusalem, a city that hated Him. It is also why the father of the prodigal son joyfully celebrated his son's return home after facing the truth about himself.
