A Sabbath society reflects God’s compassion to all people. Does God care about systems? Without question! Systems affect those God came to redeem. Only an absentee, absentminded God could not care about the systems that affect the people and creation he made. Jesus cares about the systems of our society precisely because Jesus cares about people. The intrinsic worth of each human leads us to understand that God cares about anything and everything that affects human beings. If anything hurts people—even those in society we give little attention to—God cares.
