How did Jesus preach the gospel? What did Jesus use to draw men to Himself?

Examples of Jesus using fear to draw men to Himself. Vipers, who has warned you of the wrath to come. Religious, teachers, those who would wield the sword of the Lord for selfish means, is who Jesus had the harshest words for. Concern for the souls of people will draw them. Love will draw them. Living holy will draw them, but terror has driven many a soul from His presence and God will hold their souls in our account who used the Word of the God who is love to stab people and to castigate people into heaven. It is the devil who holds the pitchfork and it is the devil who accuses the brethren. Lift up the name and the works of Jesus, who would not come to a Christ who has sacrificed His life to pay for my sins. I am a wretch and I do not deserve His grace, but God has delivered me. See the love that God extends. Who would not run from the pitchfork gospel. Help us, Jesus. We are the Pharisees.
