Salvation was about reducing the number of people in Hell. All the rest was just making people's wordily lives better. There were a couple instances of Jesus saying that a person's sins were forgiven, but the real work occurred on the Cross.
His ministry vs. his mission of ultimate Salvation is akin to give a man a fish vs. teach a man to fish.
Yes, but today we live in a world of atleast 4 Billion non Christians that his ministry could reach in days. Most of which will go to hell if nothing is done.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
