No Civil Reforms

"The Savior attempted no civil reforms, attacked no national abuses, condemned no national enemies. Nor did He interfere with the authority or administration of those in power.  He was not indifferent to the woes of men, but He knew that the remedy lay not merely in human and external measures.  To be effective, the cure had to reach men individually and regenerate the heart (see The Desire of Ages, p 509, Ellen G White).  This He strove incessantly to do."
