Jesus wanted accountability

I heard a great line on NRP this morning. "If you know nothing about Jesus of Nazareth other than he was crucified by the Romans - that is all you need to know; Crucifixion was an unusual punishment saved for those who spoke out against the government. The authorities didnt cared about this guy until after he challenged the money changers at the Temple, who were the local symbol of Roman Imperial Governance and Power. "
