"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." Luke 4:18-19
If I told you that we are currently living in the midst of the 'acceptable year of the Lord' would you believe me? That right now we are living in the midst of Jubilee? The right now you have the ability to be set free, to see again, to have your heart restored? Does that seem like your reality?
If it doesn't you may be missing out on certain aspects of what God is offering.
I'm sure we'll get to it sooner or later, but Jesus says that one of the reasons he came was so that we could have life and have it to the full (John 10:10), he came so that we could really LIVE. Live free of our spiritual blindness. Live free from our captivity. Live free from our pain and our fear and our hate. Live free from our grudges and our heartaches. Jesus offers to take it all away, our mistakes and our debts.
It is the year of Jubilee. It is the acceptable year of the Lord and we can be set free if we but want it.
+ Do you believe that?
+ If not, do you want to?
