If someone were charged with the commission to go and share important information with the masses, the last thing you think they'd do is be cryptic in their delivery.

In his study, you'll learn how prior to Jesus' shift in teaching style, the Pharisees and Sadducees had equated His work to that of Beelzebub, not recognizing that He was indeed sent from God.
