Freedom from Prison

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” (Isa. 61:1 ESV)

Prison: any place of confinement or involuntary restraint.

Compassion for those in prison

“For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.” (Heb. 10:34 ESV)

“I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.” (Matt. 25:36 ESV)

Therefore…

“Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name! The righteous will surround me, for you will deal bountifully with me.” (Psalm 142:7 ESV)

“Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.” (Heb. 13:3 ESV)
