This guy may have sailed, 'too close to the wind'!
Unintentionally, he has created a monster
A Caring God
By pushing, the attentive shepherd, the child-friendly approachability, the forgiving father, the benevolent master, etc, themes,.......what has he done???
He has created hope and refuge in a caring God. The basis for a Caring God, in any way that is not merely allegorical, in nature is farcical and presumptuous, imho.
God is like these things but not these things.
This new fledgling Caring God is not the Biblical Yahweh,..I do not think it is even Allah(not sure).
This is what the Sanhedrin instinctively knew!
Jesus had instigated a new God!
We have been stuck with this montage, ever since!
Correct me if I am wrong!
Thanks!
Jesus, a mess of his own making?

But, in any case, are you telling us that all Christian disciples have enjoyed peace through their lives?

The verses you select from the gospels are those which you select.
