Jubliee

In the accounts of his life in the gospels, Jesus often says that the Kingdom of God - God’s rule and reign - is at hand. What is the history of this Kingdom though? Earlier in the narrative of Scripture, as God is forming His people, we learn about the concept of Jubilee. It’s a communal practice of release every fifty years--a societal reset meant to promote justice, forgiveness, and mercy. This communal loosening is all about not being our own masters, but letting the Kingdom, a Jubilee effort, master us. Does it seem like we need a reset societally? In our communities? In us? Let’s embrace the cry for Jubilee and let God’s good work reset, reorder, and reestablish our lives.

We started our Jubilee series with the people of God recently freed from slavery in Egypt. They were freed. Now they needed to stay free and free others, accomplished by practicing Sabbath and Jubilee! While the people of God didn’t always live out these practices, God always offered them rest and a reset, not just for themselves individually, but for their whole community.

In our closing talk, we’ll recap our series and then look at the end of the story. What does the fulfillment of Jubilee look like at the end of all things? It looks like a dwelling place of life, healing, and rest with our God. And the good news is that that Kingdom end is not just available at the end-- that final reality breaks backwards into our story right now.
