When Jesus sent His disciples from village to village to preach, heal the sick and cast out demons (Mark 6:7-13), the disciples appear to have been successful. But while Peter, James and John were with Jesus on the mountain, the other disciples were met with a challenge. A man brought his son to them to be healed of a spirit that made him mute and subject to seizures. The disciples were unable to drive out this spirit.

Jesus said and did some amazing things while He was here. He made claims that we can't always reconcile with our worldview. No one can admire Jesus as a great teacher and in the same breath say that He was not the only way to heaven; If He wasn't God - as He claimed - then His great teachings were the rantings of a megalomaniac. We can't count Him as one among many wise philosophers if He claimed to be superior to all of them.
