Stop bringing your meaningless offerings. Your burning incense stinks! Your sin-stained celebrations, your new moon festivals, Sabbaths, your various pious meetings—I can’t stand them! With all my soul I hate your new moon festivals and your feasts; they are nothing but a burden that I’m sick and tired of carrying. When you stretch out your hands to pray, I will hide my eyes from you. Repeat your prayers all you want, but I will not listen, for your hands are stained with innocent blood. Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean. Remove your evil actions from my sight and stop sinning! Learn what it means to do what is good by seeking righteousness and justice! Rescue the oppressed. Uphold the rights of the fatherless and defend the widow’s cause.

Life with Jesus involves an awakening of our passions and a focus of our time, attention, and resources. We can tend to be apathetic about brokenness in the world when we are unexposed or engaged in other activities. Rather Jesus calls us to engage, to respond, and to allow our hearts to be broken as we pursue a path toward biblical engagement and advocacy.
