Turning the World Upside Down
When Jesus Christ arrived at the scene, people flocked to hear Him speak, tell them stories and do the impossible.
Nothing was said about Jesus being good looking, well-dressed, having a nice sounding voice or being charismatic.
Right Side Up
In all indications, he looked and sounded like a fairly typical first century Judean native. But when He spoke, people listened... and He turned the world upside down (or right side up).

When Jesus Christ of Nazareth spoke, it was different from how and what their teachers spoke. His Word has power. The Word touched their very soul. The Word renewed their mind. The Word melted their hearts. The Word changed them. The Word gave them hope, healed them and made them new.
His teachings are the exact opposite of what this world teaches us. We can say that His ways are upside down.
Christlike
Today, Christians (walking with the Spirit of Christ) are still turning the world upside down mainly because most of the world have been used to thinking and doing things a certain way, it is perceived that things done differently isn't the right way. In fact, most haven't even considered doing anything else other than the way they have been doing things.
