The Moral Crusade of Jesus
Some Christians fight a moral crusade with words, protests, votes, and artillery launched from a platform of self righteousness void of redemptive grace. Jesus fought that same moral fight with a cross. He asks us to use His weapon not ours.
To remember that He did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped is to be stunned at the humility Jesus models for those of us who call ourselves His followers. Sadly, as you imply in this post, most of us are not going HIS way.

Eph 6:13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
