The gospel is like a great lover and wretched street girl who had been abused by all her old boyfriends. The lover loved the street girl and said to her "if you will believe that my love is better than any other's, I will give you my love forever and never take it away."

The gospel is like a rich man who by his intelligence amassed a great fortune, and a poor man who had become poor through his own foolishness. The rich man had pity on the poor man and said, "If you will acknowledge that I have been wise with my money and you have been foolish, I will give you so much wealth that you will never be poor again."
