Alot of Christians, think of Jesus as some kind of social rebel in his day.
What does the bible say about this?
John records Jesus as saying “I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do,”(John 17:4), while Paul wrote to the Romans and said that “by the obedience of One, shall many be made righteous” (Romans 5:19). Paul also wrote to Christians in Philipi and recounted how Jesus “ humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Philipians 2:8) in order to pay for our sin.
The apostle Peter wrote to the Christians in what is modern day Turkey, reminding them that they were saved by the “obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ”.(1 Peter 1:2) The author of Hebrews writes that “though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered” (Hebrews 5:8).
According to the Bible, everything about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ was defined by obedience, not rebellion, and we should "follow His steps".
