True Social
Justice!
JESUS and John The Baptist taught true social justice!
“The crowds asked John, ‘So then, what should we do?’ He answered, ‘Whoever has two coats should share with somebody who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.’ Tax collectors also came to be baptized; and they asked him, ‘Rabbi, what should we do?’ ‘Collect no more than the government assesses,’ he told them. Some soldiers asked him, ‘What about us? What should we do?’ To them he said, ‘Don’t intimidate anyone, don’t accuse people falsely, and be satisfied with your pay.’” Luke 3:10-14
Matthew 5-7 JESUS teaches how we should live before GOD and with each other. He teaches about personal and family relationships, employment and business relationships, but most importantly our relationship with GOD!
If we follow these simple guidelines social justice will be the norm in our society!
JESUS told us to give when we had it to give, to go the extra mile i.e. help someone with something that is not our responsibility, that hate is equal to murder, that lust is the same as the act of immorality, that greed leads to loss, not to do our good deeds to be recognized by others and that if we trust GOD we do not have to worry about what we need.
