The Simple Teaching to Poor People
What did Christ Jesus actually tell to Jewish people in Palestine 2000 years ago to save them? He did not tell any difficult theories of Judaism or on theology such as the Holy Trinity. He should teach very basic truth to poor people who could not read and write.
Christ Jesus knew that poor people were desperate since there was no hope for them to become rich or get saved from pains and troubles in this world. So, He told them that they could be saved in Heaven after death in this world. As those poor people were assured that they would be welcomed and blessed by the God to be happy in Heaven, they should be glad to hear His words, so that the teachings of Christ Jesus were accepted and spread among poor people.
Put simply, Christ Jesus told poor people in Palestine 2000 years ago that the God loved the poor instead of the rich so that He would accept them in Heaven. As poor people found authority given by the God in Christ Jesus through miracles and other deeds Christ Jesus had performed, they trusted in those words of Christ Jesus.
Poor people who had no hope at all to be rich in this world would gladly accept the words of Christ Jesus that they would be happy in Heaven. With belief in the words of Christ Jesus, they would never be desperately sad and sorry for their miserable lives in this world now that they were confident that they would be happy in Heaven after death in this world.
In other words, Christ Jesus taught simple truth to poor people:
1. Their souls continue to live in Heaven after death in this world.
2. They are loved by the God who would give them eternal life.
3. Rich men who have made them suffer in this world cannot enter into Heaven.
As a result, poor men who heard and believed in the words of Christ Jesus stopped listening to Satan who told them to do any bad or evil things to be rich. By saving poor people, Christ Jesus suppressed Satan, so that Satan all the more hated Christ Jesus and his believers. In this sense, the fight between followers of Christ Jesus and those of Satan has continued for 2000 years up to date.

John 7, King James Version
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
