He told me...

God empowers His people; He gave us the Holy Spirit while we were still unholy. If God would wait and only give His Spirit to those you are holy, most if not all of us will still be empty. 

Jesus came to earth to be a change-maker; to give life to the dead, to give hope to the hopeless, to give acceptance to those rejected, to touch the untouchables, to hug the sad, to tell the poor that he can be rich, to tell the people your life will never be the same again.

Every inward realisation and revelation would be met by an equal outward physical reaction. Jesus, upon receiving the full revelation of His position as the Son of God, met it by immediately standing and washing His disciples feet. The full revelation of greatness would be met by the full position and demonstration of servant-hood.  

He empowered His disciples, His people by showing the way, being an example, demonstrating, then teaching them how, then sending them out.   

Jesus knew Judas had a problem with money, yet He made him face his problem by making Judas the treasurer. 

That's trust. That's empowerment. That's change.
