This a quote from Paul's blog (a guy I met at a community out near Chicago called Reba Place--he had spent many years traveling around the US by faith, trusting God and His people to provide for him along the road), in which he describes his opiniont of Jesus' method of transforming the world grassroots:
“Instead of taking the position of "good overlord," he went directly to the bottom, to the people who were oppressed, and showed them how to be free. Not by changing the world around them, but by helping them to change themselves. By showing them the power of faith. So the poor and weak could face their oppressors without fear and refuse to beg from them or be controlled by their threats, obeying only God, their loving Father."
