Jesus is political, but he is not a Christian nationalist

As I’ve been talking about Jesus Takes A Side for the last few months, one of the critiques I’ve received is that Jesus didn’t come to change political systems. The argument is that Jesus didn’t come to overturn Rome and bring about a political revolution, and thus, we shouldn’t strive to change our political systems. This argument comes from politically “quiet” people, which Anabaptism is rife with. Of course, I argue that Jesus and the Gospel are manifestly political, but the politics of Jesus is not interested in political domination.
