The Bible has a radically different understanding of power and authority than does ideological social justice. Power and authority exist to maintain order, a necessary precondition for human flourishing, and to serve those under authority for their own benefit. God, the most powerful of all—the King of Kings and Lord of Lords—amazingly serves us by exercising His power for our good, even going so far as to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins—while we were His enemies!
