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.
Since God already provided the path, I doubt He would want to do so again. This is the same God who wiped out civilizations left and right for disobeying Him.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
