The answers are not in a human teacher, whose every utterance is waited on with baited breath. The answers are within. If you cant look within, then hey lets shoot the messenger!
As we are on the subject of that famous individual, the bible ascribes this quote to Jesus: "... I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father ..."
Thats a powerful message (amongst others). You mean what!!! We can all do this stuff ? You can see people being killed for telling the truth these days - imagine how that one went down?
Every human alive today falls within the meaning of John 14:12 above in my opinion. Some people don't want it that way.

Exactly!
He came to say and show to the people the real thing.
But as you said many did not wish that , so they turned against him and eventually killed him.
One of the most powerful statements about his message was when he was about to be arrested and when he said to Peter :" Do not think that I can not ask my father to send me 12 legions of angels right now? But then how the scripture will be fulfilled?"
He came to bring light and love. He left destruction to his father when all other means are left out.
People failed. Some did not but many failed.
Even his appolstles living and breathing with him for years did not understod the message. Many years afterwards some realized the message,still many did not.
Paul was writing greatly about that message and was acused by other Christians of " heavy teachings" and later was affirmed by Peter and Peter actually defended Paul at the end.
See, many choose to close their heart ,soul and mind for light, love and truth.
So if ,say, craft lands here tomorrow , how many will choose to see the truth?
Not many since they will be blinded by technology and special effects...
We sholud stop old ways of thinkings or we are doomed.
I do not think that we have much credits to go on forever like this way of life we have on Earth.
