In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to their own property.
Leviticus 25:13
Although the year of Jubilee was prescribed by God, there is no record that it was ever celebrated.
I find that interesting and here is why . . .
With all the debate and angry talk about God's law prohibiting homosexuality (see Leviticus 18:22) why hasn't anyone taken up the call for the year of Jubilee?
Why not keep the rest of the law?
The Bible was not written such that you could take parts you want and discard the parts you don't - Apparently that hasn't kept us from doing that.
Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people Leviticus 18:29 NIV
The "Church" does a great job (note my sarcasm) in cutting off the people we choose to cut off. This job of cutting people out was God's and not ours!
Perhaps we need a reminder that we do not live under the law, but instead have been freed by Christ's sacrifice to live a life of love and service.
Have you been keeping others under the law, while claiming your own freedom?
