Reynolda Church: Audio Podcast

As far as scholars know, Jubilee was never enacted in ancient Israel – until the coming of Jesus. The Levitical law of Jubilee was the most radical, pervasive sociological construct of freedom imaginable. Every seventh day and every seventh year, the people and the land rested. The year of Jubilee was after the 49th year – seven times seven years. It was the Sabbath of Sabbaths of Sabbaths. According to Levitical law, everything reset during the year of Jubilee. Slaves were to be set free. Land was to be returned to its original owners. And debts were to be cancelled. No longer bound by the slavery of their forebears, a new generation could walk into unprecedented freedom. Jubilee means a new start. In this final week of missions’ emphasis, we focus on freedom’s call to a new generation who can embrace their God-given destiny with the confidence that Jesus has become their jubilee.
