The Year of Jubilee was a special time for God’s people. They were used to setting aside every seventh day. However, this once-in-a-lifetime experience involved setting aside an entire year. It was a year of freedom when everything returned to its original owner. This was a joyful time for those directly affected by the freeing of property, workers, and debts.
Just as the Year of Jubilee set everything right, so also Christ freed us, setting things right. Do we approach our salvation and its accompanying freedom with the excitement and joy brought by the Year of Jubilee?
