To believe in Christ was a question of faith, which one had to resolve for oneself. There was no simple formula that one could have followed. Each individual had their own tests of faith that they had to overcome in order to accept Him. For some, their test may have been His suffering and seeming helplessness, for others His call to self-sacrifice, and for still others, fear of persecution. You could not simply have opened up the Scriptures to see if Jesus were the Christ. The answers were there, of course, but were not understood
(64:6)
