I don't know why some of us, including me, sometimes, think
that the way to fix the world is through politics. Jesus didn't try that. There
were lots of poor people, but He didn't campaign for higher taxes on the rich
to help them. The illegal aliens were running the country, but He didn't try to
get rid of them. There weren't any Muslims yet, but there were Samaritans, and
He got one of them to be an evangelist to her village, and told a story about
the goodness of another Samaritan. The Romans had open carry, but the Jews
didn't. There was slavery, and women were second-class citizens. He didn't try
a political solution for any of these things. He helped individuals that He
came across, lived a sinless life, and died and rose for our sins. That, plus
training the disciples, was His way of attacking the problems around Him.
Thanks for reading. For more on how politics is deeply flawed, see here.
