How Does Jesus Feel About Us Looking the Other Way Instead of Standing Up for the Poor, Needy and Those Who Have Been Wronged?

Jesus says through the Bible: Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:8-9

This is so hard. Every day there are things that are on the news that show people being ostracized because they are poor, needy, or have the wrong skin color or culture according to some. Well, Jesus wants to know what we are going to do about it. Are we going to just ignore it or stand around condoning the negative comments that are so prevalent today about how these people deserve their fate, but not our help?

I don't think this is what Jesus wants of us. It's not always easy to stand up for others, but Jesus stood up for us and even gave His life to save us from our sins. Jesus will let you know what you need to do on His behalf of these people if you are prayerful, even if it's to write a blog post helping others to become more aware of what He wants on their behalf.

Remember Jesus says through the Bible: Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.Isaiah 1:17
