If the teaching of the masses is all you see in the ministry
of Jesus, you will have missed its greater significance. You should also see
something that is not so obvious at first glance—the Savior’s quiet training those
who will lead His church. This will become apparent as you perceive the
Galilean ministry as being divided into three phases of leadership training.

In the days of Moses the Lord freed ancient Israel from bondage
in Egypt. To commemorate this deliverance, they were commanded to keep the
Feast of the Passover. All of the symbolism of the feast centered around these
two events: that the angel of death passed over the houses and flocks of Israel,
while slaying the firstborn among the men and beasts of the Egyptians; and that
Jehovah was their deliverer. The feast was
to be eaten in haste; the sacrificial lamb was one without blemish, whose blood
was shed, but whose bones were not broken; blood was sprinkled on the houses to
be spared - all of which provided types and symbols for Messiah’s coming mortal
sacrifice.
How are these events and Christ's command that we
"must be born again" related?
