He already said why:

Matthew 13
"31Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field. 32Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”

*"…11He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. 14In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. 15For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’"

That answer only raises more questions LOL.

At first glance, I read those verses and conclude that God is not somebody that I could respect or admire. On the other hand, maybe God wants the hard-hearted to have an excuse for rejecting the Messiah at judgment time. The hard-hearted can say "God you didn't make it clear enough for my hard-heart to believe", and then God can say "that is a good point. I guess I can't condemn you for rejecting the Messiah when I didn't give you enough evidence, so you can come to Heaven too." If God had given the hard-hearted people enough evidence to believe then they would have rejected the Messiah simply because they like the devil, and then God would have had no choice except to condemn them on the Day of Judgment.

For this exercise, lets assume you will not be able to answer questions. You will have only one shot, as brother Eminem says.

Assuming money, technology (currently existing or future) are not an obstacle. Meaning you have all of the resources in the world that you need. How would you deliver your message? Since this is a Christian forum, I'd like to also find out why you think God hasn't used that same technology or means of delivering his message.
This reminds me of an excerpt from Marshall Brain's book, How God Works, in which he makes a similar point.

AUTHENTICATION IN THE REAL WORLD

Imagine that you’re the leader of a large organization. It might be a nation, a nonprofit institution, or a worldwide corporation. For example, imagine that you are the president of the United States. This position is largely regarded as the most powerful position that a person can hold on Earth. Now imagine that you have an important message that you need to communicate to someone. Because the message is important, you want to make sure of at least three things. First, you want to make sure that the correct message is delivered—that it’s not tampered with or modified en route. Second, you want to make sure the recipient receives the message—that the message is not lost before it arrives. Third, you want to make sure that a false message can’t be forged by an impostor.
Given these three criteria, how might you deliver your message? One way would be to call a televised news conference in the White House and deliver a speech. In this way, your image and your message are transmitted in real time to every person who cares to hear it.
...
The point is, if the president wishes to deliver a message to someone, there are many ways to do it, and all of them can be authenticated. What if you make a mistake during your delivery, or what if you feel that people are misinterpreting what you said? Then you could make another speech or send another message to correct the mistake or to clarify your intent.
...
Is the system that the United States has designed for launching nuclear missiles perfect? Of course not. Human beings make mistakes and we all know it. But it’s a system that has been given a great deal of thought, and a huge amount of engineering talent has been applied to make sure that the message gets through and that the message cannot be corrupted or forged.
The point here is simple. If a human leader wishes to convey a message to her followers, human beings create systems to get the message through unambiguously and with a way to verify who sent the message. If the leader of a major corporation wishes to get a message out to her employees or customers, it’s easy to do that and there will be no confusion about what’s being said or who’s saying it. And it must be this way. Imagine what would happen if an employee could pop up whenever he felt like it and proclaim, “The CEO spoke to me in a dream and told me to shut down this factory,” and then other employees listened. There would be chaos. Instead, if an employee were to say this, no one would believe him and no one would respond. To shut down the factory, employees require a real, authenticated message from the CEO. On the other hand, we constantly see God’s messages proclaimed by human beings without any way to verify that the message unambiguously comes from God, or that it’s true. A minister can stand up in his congregation and proclaim that God spoke to him in a dream. He can claim any statement from God that he chooses, and there is no way for anyone to verify it. This is why we constantly see different people in the same religion claiming opposite positions for God. It’s a ridiculous situation.
The fact that there is ambiguity about God’s messages and God’s intent, along with the fact that there’s no evidence that God is speaking to people and plenty of evidence that He’s not, tells us one of two things. Either: 1) The people who claim to hear God’s voice are hallucinating, and should therefore be seeking medical attention, or 2) these people are lying about the fact that God is speaking to them for personal gain, and should be called out on their fraud. The dictionary defines hallucination as: A sensory experience of something that does not exist outside the mind, caused by various physical and mental disorders, or by reaction to certain toxic substances, and usually manifested as visual or auditory images. If God were real and actually speaking to people, He would authenticate His real messages in order to prevent fraudulent statements from being attributed to Him. In addition, the messages would all align, and there would be a need for only one religion on Earth with only one denomination. The fact that God never does this is another indication that God is imaginary, and that the messages and relationships attributed to God are hoaxes or hallucinations.

No, by the time of the Judgement, the Harvest will have already passed and all that was sown is reaped...if hearts were hardened at one time it was for a fuller future crop...He is the Good Farmer.

*John 15
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard. 2He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful."

You're missing some core theology in your question.
John 9:41
John 15:22
Matthew 11:23-24

Out of context! John 14:12 doesn't mean what it says, you need to prove those verses mean what they say. And if they do, you need to show they apply to people today. Remember, Jesus was speaking in the context of 1st Century Palestine.

John 9:41 - Jesus said to THEM, who is them? Why does it apply to us?

Remember, John 14:12 is the context. It doesn't mean what is says and doesn't apply to anyone today. So, everyone can just ignore the rest of the New Testament as it doesn't apply either.

Feel better? Good. You're still missing core theology in your question.

I don't mind being pruned, but it's the gnashing of teeth that bothers me. Does the good farmer become angry and punish the unfruitful branches? No.

John 15

"…5I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned."

Are people angry when they gather fuel for heating?
