Lesson ftrmt'page B5 central focus for today's les son - Jubilee. Lesson: When God cre ated the heavens and the earth and all that's within, He rested on the seventh day. Not only did He rest. He blessed that day, making it. holy (Genesis 2:2-3). There are many Scripture references to the signifi cance of that day. In keeping with that practice, once they control Canaan, they are to expand that idea of resting and implement a new type of economic system. They are instructed to rest the land every seventh year. There is to be no planting. They will live solely on what on what the Lord provides. The year after the "seventh sabbaths of years" will be celebrated as the Jubilee Vear. That fiftieth year is set apart as holy unto the Lord. Jubilee comes from the Hebrew meaning "ram." the transla tion is "the year of the blow ing of the ram's horn" (Catholic Encyclopedia). It is also referred to as the year of release. This part of the Law (mueh more than Ten Commandments) has three features. First, the land will lay fallow. It will rest, even though it rested during the forty-ninth year. Life. is to be simple as they eat whatever gro\vs spontaneously. Even the landlords can't store up food on their land. Everyone has access to food. Secondly, land lost due to poverty will be returned to its owner or the next of kin. This will definitely set them a part!! The third feature of Jubilee is the release of slaves If. for whatever rea son, an Israelite sold them selves into slavery, freedom comes during the Year of Jubilee. Oh freedom, how sweet it is, "The design of Jubilee is that those people of God who, through pover ty or other circumstances, had forfeited their personal liberty or property to their fellow brethren, should have their debt forgiven by their crpreligionists every .W years" (Catholic Encyclopedia). Are" you being a good steward of what's been given to you? Docs this practice alone make them different? There is no evidence that this was carried out. Application: The Year of Jubilee represents dependence on God, the end of exploitation, and forgive ness. We need to be remind ed that during this period of "slow down," God is the ultimate provider. Hold on and keep the faith. We are learning that "less is more." Look at His track record and be encouraged! The practice of giving back the land pre vents the few from dominat ing the many. That sounds a little strange in our society. Christians, if we are to be different, how then can we take advantage of someone? Forgiveness affords Us a new opportunity to begin anew. Freedom from the slavery of sin is a gift. Notice that nothing is said about earning or deserving it! When God extends for giveness to us, how can we jttstTfy holding back tm each other? Let's do a better job of representing His mercy and justice as we walk humbly with Him. Amen! Elect S.
