Today some friends and I watched the video "The Revolutionary Epic" - which was a portrayal of Jesus as in the gospels. The life of Jesus, from his birth, his ministry, his death, his resurrection to his ascension, was presented in a fresh and captivating way.
That really got me thinking....was Jesus really a revolutionary? I've come up with some points which I'll write about in the next few days.
So do you see Jesus as a revolutionary? I'd be really interested in knowing what you think.
I identify myself with peregrine (a person tending to travel; they are nomadic, mobile, wandering and roving), and sojo (sojourner), one who is a temporary resident in a place. Here I share the journey of my inner and outer life, with a focus on my ethos "be transformed by the renewing of your mind"

Was Jesus a revolutionary? that all depends on your definition of revolution: A rebellion, or a transformation? – Jesus did not come to rebel against the law, he came to fulfil it, and so if he is defined as a revolutionary, it is because the revolution he was involved with was that of transformation.
Great point there! How do you define 'revolution'? I feel that revolution has to do with changes, and 'transformation' is what I believe Jesus 'revolution' was all about. I agree totally with you there anonymous friend :)!
