Why would Jesus care about 110+ billion people?

If humanity keeps reproducing at scale, organizes itself hierarchically, and largely prioritizes self-interest, it's hard to see how Jesus' teachings could meaningfully apply to the collective outcome.
Much of what Jesus taught centers on humility, restraint, sacrifice, and even martyrdom in a world that tends to reward the opposite. Often, people who try to live by those ideals end up exploited, while those who don’t seem to do just fine.
What adds to the tension is that many people who identify as followers of Jesus don't actually live by those teachings.
They invoke him symbolically, but operate according to power, status, and self-preservation.
If the message doesn’t scale well, and the followers don't consistently follow it, what role is it really meant to play?
