Jesus didn't get whipped, spit upon, have His beard ripped out, crucified, and have a spear shoved through Him for feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and holding up hope. No one mocked Him for being socially concerned. In fact, He gained celebrity status for doing such things. He would have been on the front page of every newspaper. Ultimately, he was rejected because of what He said. It was His message that got Him killed. Christians don't need to stop handing out water bottles and giving away clothes, but they eventually need to get around to speaking a very unpopular message - that regardless of socioeconomic status, every person is a wicked, vile sinner in need of a Savior. -Matt Miller
