Hindi naging madali ang kwento ni Hesus. Nagbakasyon sa maling barko ng buhay: nakiamba sa maling barkada, nasangkot sa maliliit na krimen, at sa wakas ay nawala ang direksyon. Ngunit hindi niya kailanman pinutol ang pagmamahal sa pamilya; pinili niyang magbago sa tanikala ng sariling pagsisisi. Nagtrabaho siya sa pagawaan ng sapatos, natutong magbihis ng maralitang dangal, at sumulat ng mga liham na hindi niya ipinapadala. Ang sulat at litrato na dumating kay Mateo ay ipinadala pala ni Hesus — naglalambing at nag-aalangan, naghahanap ng kapatawaran.
