More about understanding Jesus

It is important for modern day people to understand that Jesus was in the public eye, performing his ministry, for only several years. By several years I mean just over two years. From his baptism by John the Baptist, where he first appears as a man who is going to lead, to his death and resurrection and final instructions to the disciples, Jesus accomplished his entire public ministry in just over two years.

What person working in a modern corporation can envision doing even a single programming project in two years, and any parent can relate to how quickly two school years go by with your child. Yet Jesus revolutionized the world, and brought the New Covenant, in that amount of time, without any script, on foot, walking from small town to small town, and preaching in synagogues that would have him. The difference between the mindset of today, where people cannot imagine how this happened without handlers, project workbench and media events that carry the "greatest payback" and how the Messiah brought the message of God is greater than the difference between night and day. No reporters covered his day to day movements, and his disciples were hunted and persecuted after him. Yet the honor of the time (when people documented the truth through the principle of "witnessing") and the perfection of Jesus' message and his what we would call "grassroots" approach perserved and spread what he had done in that short amount of temporal time for the benefit of all who would listen and obey eternally.
