Freedom & LifeSample

 “He unrolled the scroll and read where it is written,...”

When you unroll the scroll (so to speak) and read the Bible, you discover not only who God is, but who you are in Christ. In the Old Testament under the old agreement, the 50th year was of great importance. It was known as the ‘year of Jubilee.’ During that period of time and in that year, the people of Israel experienced freedom. This freedom included all of their debts being canceled, slaves and prisoners were released and all property went back to its original owners. Their bondage was broken. It was a year of rest and celebration! Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! No matter what had happened in their lives leading up to that moment, because of Jubilee, they would experience divine favor and freedom. 

In the New Testament, under the new agreement, we don’t have to wait for a specific period of time to experience our Jubilee! Because of Jesus' death on a cross and resurrection, the power of sin is broken, we are free, forgiven, healed, favored, and blessed! He relieves us of all our spiritual debts and slavery to sin. The year of Jubilee is a symbolic reminder of the redemption and restoration we NOW have in Christ. When Jesus unrolled the scroll and read the scriptures he was announcing that HE was our Jubilee! Because of Jesus, this is not just your year of Jubilee, it is your invitation to live a Jubilee life! 

Declare Today - “Because of Jesus, these are my banner years and I will live the Jubilee life full of favor and freedom! My debt of sin is erased, I am set free and my life is restored!”
