Oh, why not. Here’s my offering:

—

The novice said, “Surely God cannot want me to give up my lifestyle. It
is such a hard thing to do!”

The master replied, “Surely God did not want Jesus to give up his life.
It was such a hard thing to do!”

—

The unbeliever said, “Why do I have to go through all this? Surely a
loving God could just save me without the hassle.”

The believer asked, “Do you know the way from your home to work well?
Could you tell me how to get there?”

The unbeliever replied, “Yes, I know the way well.”

The believer replied, “But you could not travel the path for me.”
