Jesus was a Jew, and also I believe he was a catalyst, and I think he offended people because his message was to love your neighbour as yourself; in other words, no one is better than somebody else.

So he rattled a lot of people's cages.

Love God, love your neighbors, and do stuff!

Love God and He will enable you to love others even when they disappoint you.
