“[B]reak the chains of wickedness…
untie the ropes of the yoke…
set the oppressed free…
tear off EVERY YOKE…
share your bread with the hungry…
bring the poor and homeless into your house…
clothe the naked when you see him…
not to ignore your own flesh and blood…”
– Emperor Jesus (Isaiah 58:6, CSB)
“[I]f you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.” – 58:10 (NIV)

“Because the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have appointed you to be a light of nations, that you would bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’” – Acts 13:47 (translation mine)
