i think we have to be careful about what revolution means.

the one point that seems quite obvious to me is that Jesus, while on earth, does not make any attempt to forcefully subvert Roman authority. He performs several non-violent resistances to that authority, but refuses to take up arms. what he's showing is that even in a world that pays only lip service to the ideas of peace and justice, it is possible to choose that path.

if by revolutionary, you mean empowering people to live just lives in an injust system...yeah. if you mean gathering troops for the assault on the bourgousie...i think that's hard to argue.
