Jesus taught the dignity and value of individual liberty, human liberty.
He fired us all with this illuminating idea.
Previous to his teaching, class divisions were so absolute, none even questioned―or desired what seemed adamant.
To be sure, Socrates and Epictetus taught that the soul was free, but they did not teach the brotherhood of all men.
They taught personal individual liberty of soul, but Jesus went further and taught equality, as far as heart went, kindness toward all without regard to either intelligence―or merit.
