—Leviticus 25:8-17

The Year of Jubilee was a year of celebration and mercy. In the Year of Jubilee, all debt was canceled, and each clan was given back any land they had sold during hardship. It was like a clean slate was given to the Israelites every 50 years. Imagine the joy and gratitude everyone had during the Year of Jubilee. I know I would be happy to have my financial debt forgiven! Even though we may not have a Year of Jubilee now, we get to live in the constant freedom of having our debt forgiven. We are given a clean slate each day and new mercies every morning. Freedom in Christ allows us to celebrate each day as if it is the Year of Jubilee!
