Jesus was not what this woman thinks of as a social justice warrior.

He didn’t rip Rome, and he didn’t rip the Jewish King.

He was more focused on the Sadducees and Pharisees than the government.

He was focused on the individual, and not the government.

He said, “Render unto Caesar what it Caesar’s.”

He was not here to be an earthly king. He was here to spread the gospel, and rescue mankind.

He came to rescue and not condemn.

He told people to help the poor. He did not demand they get the government to do it.

His teachings centered on the individual, and what his obligation to his fellow men was.

His teachings centered on our actions, and to bring them back into line with God’s desires.

His idea of social unrest, was for the Jews and then Christians to live Christ-like lives. He was for peace and understanding.

His only expression of being upset, was his reaction to the sellers of sacrificial lambs, and doves, the money changers. He lamented they had turned the Temple into a den of thieves.

We can safely say the social justice warriors of today are not advocating the same things or using the same methods as Christ.
