Who might they have offended along the way? How might this have cost them?

All throughout Jesus Christ of Nazareth’s journey, he most likely offended the government officials and other powerful people who put the social norms in place, which could have put him in a position where he could have aggravated those people enough to make them want him dead or worse.

How did they take risks for the wellbeing of others rather than risking others’ wellbeing?

Jesus openly challenged societal norms in the faces of those people who enforced them, which at the time could have resulted in his death among many other things. In spite of these possible outcomes, he still bravely stood up for what he believed to be right.

How did they challenge the ‘status quo’ (the way things seem to have always been - controlled by those with the power), rather than holding onto power through violence?

How has their work encouraged a more open-minded view on situations rather than a close-minded and controlled view?

Jesus inspired the close minded people of his time to question if they actually believe what they believe, or if they’re being fed those beliefs by people other than them in order to gain monetary profit or other forms of power.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth is regarded as a truly radical change agent, as he went against all the social norms of his time that he saw as wrong or unfair, despite knowing how those around him would react and treat him. This shows that he is a truly radical change agent, as he was willing to risk his social status and even his actual safety to try and give everyone an equal chance. He was selfless and put everyone before himself, which is what a truly radical change agent does. Jesus Christ of Nazareth is constantly depicted in the bible as someone who is warm and welcoming but also wise and intelligent. He was able to lead people when he saw they needed leading but also willing to listen and follow others if he deemed it necessary. Although many people may have these traits, it is rare to see someone capable of both, and in order to truly inspire change for the better of people, you need both of these skills.
