    Labor Day: The Year of Jubilee was a period of rest and restoration; a time when debts were cancelled and slaves set free. Many today wish they could have a year’s vacation with all their debts cancelled! The greatest Jubilee is in Christ!

    On this Labor Day weekend, as we look at the account of the “Year of Jubilee,” we will observe a period of rest and restoration extended to the children of Israel. The Bible tells us that the Jubilee occurred every forty-nine years (v. 8). It was a time when all the land experienced a sabbath, or ...read more
