The Great Irony in "Social Justice"

Jesus Christ, and His genuine followers throughout history,
have been, by far, the greatest force among all humanity, for
defeating the mistreatment of people based on their
race, ethnicity, gender, age, income, social position, or even religion.

But we must never lose sight of the Great Irony:

The transforming power of truly following Christ
does not generally lie in any direct attack on social ills.
Rather, it lies in its power to deliver each person
from his or her own blindness, soul wounds, prejudices, rebellion and darkness.

Then the disappearance of social ills follows as a matter of course.

Let those who have no interest in Christ waste their energy
on the shell game of which
privilege, victimhood, advantage, disadvantage,
prejudice, disenfranchisement, status or marginalization
is most unfair.

"I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified."
            -I Corinthians 2:2

"Seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness; everything else will be added to you."
            -Matthew 6:33

Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
            -Matthew 28:18-20
