Jesus Christ and His followers were not insurrectionists intent on overthrowing the governments of this world. Luke puts an end to that idea at the opening of Acts, where the disciples ask whether Christ will restore the kingdom to Israel at that time. He answers that the times and seasons are in the Father's authority, and that they are to be living witnesses of Him and the Kingdom of God, empowered by the Holy Spirit. Luke's carefully ordered account, written to Theophilus, showed Gentiles that the Man Jesus Christ was neither an insurrectionist nor a mere criminal, but better than anyone or anything in creation. Some commentators think Theophilus was a Roman official sent to investigate and that Luke wrote to dispel the charge that Christians meant to overthrow Caesar, though it is more likely that he was a Gentile Christian of rank. The accusation was nevertheless real. In Thessalonica the Jews who were not persuaded stirred up a mob and charged that Paul and his companions, who had turned the world upside down, acted contrary to Caesar's decrees by saying there is another king, Jesus. Jason's hospitality cost him dearly. Believers turn the world upside down not by revolt but by faithfully using God's gifts within His unchanging plan, with their citizenship and focus set on the Kingdom of God.
