In Leviticus 25, we find the first reference to Jubilee, as part of the law given by Yahweh to the Israelites. These verses describe God’s intent that the Israelites should remain free from slavery for all time by instituting a Sabbath year every seven years. The Jubilee year – occurring after every seventh Sabbath year, thus, every 50 years – is an economic, cultural, environmental and communal reset, when the land and people rest, and all those who are in slavery are set free to return to their communities. The Jubilee laws are essentially concerned with social relationship, economic security, stability and the wellbeing of the community. They seek to ensure that people live in ways that reflect good relationships with God, with each other, and with creation.

“Jubilee was a recovery of identity, especially for the poor. It is not about simply correcting economic problems, which is very important; not even just caring for the poor because they’re poor; but it is restoring identity, which is a part of their history and very important for them. Jubilee operated as a corrective because people were tight-fisted and hard-hearted. When we talk about Jubilee now, people are reluctant – it’s a problem of the heart, not a problem of economics.” – CB Samuel

And what about the fact that there is little evidence that Jubilee was ever applied as outlined in Leviticus 25?

“The assumption is that it was not practised. But that does not mean it is not an important law... The law was given to the people of Israel so that they would know the intention of God, the heart of God.” – CB Samuel

And this is what we see throughout the rest of the Old Testament: God’s heart of grace and vision for restoration persisting, despite the Israelites’ failure to follow the laws that would bring them life. God takes action through prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah, who bring messages that speak to the consequences of forgetting the law, but also to the promise of One who will enable God’s original vision for his people to be restored and for all creation to be renewed. That person, of course, is Jesus.


Remember Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to change a yot or tiddle!

That is a fantastic comment, and every word is true. (Romans 5:20, 21) . . .Now the Law came on the scene so that trespassing might increase. But where sin abounded, undeserved kindness abounded still more. 21 To what end? So that just as sin ruled as king with death, so also undeserved kindness might rule as king through righteousness leading to everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.(Romans 10:3, 4) . . .For because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.

I might add - Today many persons cannot really employ their talents and initiative, because they are trapped in an economic system that locks them in, making them serve the desires of one person or a small group of persons. Under God’s law the industrious person was aided to contribute his full abilities to the welfare and enjoyment of all. This gives us at least a small-scale idea of the measure of personal freedom and the sense of personal worth and dignity that those gaining life in God’s new order will enjoy.

I have a solution to student loan debt...pay your own f'king bills! But before that happens, high schools need to teach seniors about finances and not just push them into student loan debt to enroll in a gender equity major. Teach them how to manage money, a budget and when you borrow money you pay it back!

Someone needs to start questioning why college is so expensive now and where all the money goes. Especially colleges that earn hundreds of millions from their NCAA sports teams. It should go to more than just sports scholarships.
