Revolutionary & Mystic – Henri Nouwen

Jesus was a revolutionary, who did not become an extremist, since he did not offer an ideology, but Himself. He was also a mystic, who did not use his intimate relationship with God to avoid the social evils of his time, but shocked his milieu to the point of being executed as a rebel. In this sense, he also remains…. the way to liberation and freedom. —  The Wounded Healer: Ministry in Contemporary Society
