About This Quote
This quote particularly refers to Jesus Christ and his use of theatrics in his ministry. The idea that we need to convince people of our faith is not something new. The Church has always needed to prove that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and his resurrection from the dead. So we do what we must, we convince people to believe in Christ and follow him. Even Jesus himself, while speaking to his disciples, said: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
