"Again, looking at the Big Picture, the Great Controversy Themeexplains
why no one on earth would know what really happened on the cross unless
"disciples" made it known.
Q: Would these "disciples" be believed if the
"good news" they talked about did not make a difference in their lives,
when compared with others who also had strong religious beliefs in their
"gods"?
Q: Would anyone really have given Paul any attention if he had not
been convinced that the crucified Jesus had indeed come from heaven
with God's good news—and that it made a difference? (For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ... Rom. 1:16)."
