"Jesus was a radical. He reminds us at every turn that God's ways are not a slight variation of man's ways, but they are in fact radically different. Embrace any one of Jesus' teachings seriously and some of the people around you are bound to think that you are taking it a little too far. His teachings don't invite us to the mediocre middle. They invite us to a radical love.
This radical love is at the heart of the Gospel There are of course spectacular displays, but most of all Jesus invites us to pass this radical love along to others through the daily events of our lives. At every turn Jesus mentors us in this radical love.
Jesus was a radical. His life was radical. His death was radical. His teachings were radical. They got to the root of things. His love was radical. It changed the entire course of human history."
