Jesus began His public ministry only after years of quiet, "normal" life followed by severe trial and testing under combat circumstances.
He had to pass the tests and endure before serving before God.
Makes sense. Can't have untested newbies running around spouting off about Christ, claiming to represent Him.
I think this is why the world has such a terrible view of Christianity. Big-mouth "Christians" babbling and claiming the Name without having endured or learned any real Truth with/through God.
It takes YEARS of soul-wrenching, agonizing truth-seeking and even then you are so scared to all yourself a Christian because the least word you speak or action you take as such will be analyzed, tested, and will grow like yeast in others' eyes - for good or bad.
