I possess a very precious collection that just
might surprise you.
It's a collection of scriptures that reveal
why Jesus was born. I have a long list of those
scriptures.
The reason there are so many is because I
have preached about them every Christmas for
nearly 30 years.
For instance, 1 John 3:8, New King James
Version, says, "For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that He might destroy the
works of the devil." Jesus was born to obliterate
every weapon that has been set against us.
Praise God!
Here's another scripture, one that I've never
used before. It's found in Luke 4:18-21 (NKJV).
It's a scripture that describes why Jesus was
born.
Jesus said, '"The Spirit of the LORD is upon
Me, because He has anointed Me to preach
the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal
the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the
captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set
at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim
the acceptable year of the LORD.' Then He
closed the book, gave it back to the attendant
and sat down. And the eyes of all who were
in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He
began to say to them, 'Today this Scripture is
fulfilled in your hearing.'"
Take a look at verse 19 again, and particularly
the words "the acceptable year of the LORD."
What exactly is the acceptable year of The
LORD?
Look at Leviticus 25:9-11 (NKJV). It says,
"Then you shall cause the trumpet of the
Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh
month; on the Day of Atonement you shall
make the trumpet to sound throughout all your
land. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year,
and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to
all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you;
JESUS,
Our Jubilee
You don't have to stay in debt!
And you for sure don't have
to be brokenhearted and
remain captive to debt.
