Jesus understood humanity was enamored with the handout and that it would never work to use the humanitarian angle to build His kingdom....

Being kind or philanthropic is wonderful (I have done it) BUT should never be equated with Christianity.

In the context of NT scripture provision for the needy, widows, etc. was only applied to the new testament believer not to the world at large.
