===Christianity in antiquity===
"At the time Christianity was introduced, it was revolutionary. Its emphasis was to spread its message amoungst nations and amongst different peoples. It was not only meant for one group or one locale. It was not only meant for one tribe or one nation. Its emphasis was to bridge the gaps between different cultures and different nations, to bond pepole together through a higher association in life and to create a greater foundation for recognition, communication and cooperation. Humanity has been struggling with this challenge ever since, but much progress has been made."

"Consider the story of Jesus. Yes, he gained great attention, but who were his true allies? Who remained true to him throughout his career? Who put themselves at risk to be his representatives and his witnesses? The ambitious? The self-seeking? Those who were immersed in their spiritual pride, who claimed unique and special powers and gifts for themselves? No, they were nowhere to be found. But they arose after Jesus' death to claim that they were his representatives."
The New Message speaks on the purpose of Jesus' revelation, which was to teach humanity about the plan of God and the reality of Knowledge, yet reveals that his life was cut short and his mission in the world was not completed.
The original spiritual preparation taught by Jesus has, over millenia, been clouded and obscured, co-opted and institutionalized, such that it can be difficult to find the true path to God originally contained in Jesus' revelation without a skilled spiritual guide. The New Message says that in all the world's major religions, true practitioners can be few and far between and that those seeking the steps to Knowledge in these traditions must seek to find them.
