Jesus didn't come PRIMARILY to solve the economic, political, and social problems of the world. He came to forgive our sins. Of course, one loved like this goes out to love and serve the world.
J.I.Packer says-The gospel does bring us solutions to these [social] problems, but it does so by first solving…the deepest of all human problems, the problem of man’s relationship with his Maker, and unless we make it plain that the solution for these former problems depends 1/2
...on the settling of this latter one, we are misrepresenting the message and becoming false witnesses of God.’

Yes, Jesus does address social injustice in his teaching—see my article at https://quarterly.gospelinlife.com/justice-in-the-bible/. But Packer is right. 2/2
