The theme of Jubilee runs through the Bible. It’s not a word we use much today; when we do, “jubilee” mostly depicts a joyful celebration, specifically a 50th anniversary. It might surprise you that “jubilee” means neither “joy” nor “50.” Rather, it’s a word borrowed from Hebrew which actually refers to a ram’s horn, but more specifically to a Jewish law dealing with freedom. Freedom is something we need desperately, for we live in a society of enslavement. What we want to proclaim today is the Good News that the Bible proclaims from the Torah to the Prophets to the Gospel: we can have freedom in Jesus Christ.
Scripture:  Leviticus 25,27
