Jesus Our Jubilee
Mark Baker
Leviticus 25
It is the time of year that we celebrate the Christmas season, and the birth of our Savior. However, we mustn't lose sight of the reason for His coming. He came to restore mankind to the Father. He came to destroy the works of the devil. He came to give life and give it more abundantly. He came to give us eternal life. He came to forgive us our debts.

Blessings from God are always a result of obedience to His Word.
The acceptable year of the Lord that Jesus was talking about was called the year of Jubilee, which took place every 50 years. The Hebrews were well acquainted with Jubilee, unlike many Christians today who are unfamiliar with this. These things were types of things to come. Understanding these truths helps us to relate to not only why things happened but also how it relates to us in our ...
