A quick glance of those key individuals in the New Testament, including Jesus, shows something important. Every one of them was obscure, hidden from the population until God said "Now is the time, go." Jesus was 30 before He started; St. John the Forerunner spent years in the desert learning; The Apostles all came from nothing and then spent every waking moment with Christ; St. Paul spent 3 years in the desert with Christ before beginning to preach. --- Source: [[Markides - Mountain of Silence]] Links: - [[Must have followers to gain followers]]
