Grace for your spirit May 28, 2014

Grace for your spirit
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.  He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.  Luke 4:18

Every fifty years was assigned as the year of the Jubilee, according to Leviticus 25.  After seven sabbatical years, all debts were to be forgiven, all in bondage released, and everything set right.  Isaiah wrote about it in reference to the coming Messiah.  When Jesus read this to them that day in the synagogue,  He informed them that they were seeing their Jubilee finally fulfilled.  Jesus is our Jubilee.  Praise the Lord.  Jesus did for all mankind what men would and could never do for themselves.
