What did Jesus make known to his disciples?
He was the Son of God.
What had Jesus shared with his first disciples?
The Good News of the gospel.
What had Jesus revealed to his disciples?
The miracle of his resurrection. No wonder Jesus called for this kind of news to be hollered out for all to hear.
Too many Christians look as if they have been born in crab-apple season. Christians are not supposed to have "poker faces." If anything, we should all go around looking like "the cat that swallowed the canary." We should be as wiggly and excited about the Good News. In fact, Jesus intimates that if we sit dour and quiet about God's miraculous working in our lives, there may come a day when God will be equally quiet about us.
