and each of you shall return to
his possession, and each of you
shall return to his family. That
fi ftieth year shall be a Jubilee to
you."
In verse 13, it is called the "Year of
Jubilee."
The Year of Jubilee was the year when
all debts were canceled, all slaves went free
and all property was returned to its original
owners. Everyone listening to Jesus knew the
acceptable year of The LORD was the great
Jubilee—or the fi ftieth year that's
referred to in Leviticus. Moses
was telling the people they didn't
have to be poor, brokenhearted,
captive, blind or bruised.
Jesus was born in order for us to be
free from the weight of debt. When He said,
"Today this Scripture is fulfi lled in your
hearing" (Luke 4:21), it meant that Jesus had
become our Jubilee—our freedom from debt!
Let me share with you what Jesus did for
Terri and me concerning our debt situation.
"Moses was
telling the people
they didn't have to be
poor, brokenhearted,
captive, blind or
bruised."
