Jesus’ public ‘mission field’ was only about 3½ years. So very much to teach and to demonstrate in so very short a time! He spoke only the words of the Father because every word was of tremendous importance, every opportunity laden with crucial truth. His miracles were uniquely effective communicators of the powerful, loving riches of the Kingdom, this Kingdom soon to be conferred on these often-bewildered men who had been given him by his Father.

Nothing can wholly satisfy the life of Christ within his followers except the adoption of Christ’s purpose toward the world he came to redeem. . . [Those] who are putting everything into Christ’s undertaking are getting out of life its sweetest and most priceless rewards.
