model

Jesus, who had the mandate of redemption of the world, through his death and resurrection, in his earthy life, engaged with various people with different inner motives. He would walk into a wedding party and turn water into wine to protect the status of the family in the community. He would walk into houses to care one to one for people, or stop to spend time with selected individuals.
 At the same time, he walked to the temple and cleaned out the market, he would interact with large groups, teaching them of upcoming Kingdom and structures which need to change.
The former out of an inner compassion and the latter a deep desire to see just structures and systems in place. Compassion for individuals and families on one hand and righteous anger against systems and structures which prevent people from fulfilling Gods purposes for their lives.
 And as people started joining him in this movement of compassion and righteous anger, he would walk away from them, because it will not be the strength of his followers which will fulfil his mandate, but his love which will lead him to his  death on the cross. A self giving live which will win the world.
A model to emulate for political movements today.
