Redemption. This day we read of something that we KNOW points to our future redemption. Yet, we have been reading about laws and sacrifices that have pointed us to our desperate need for a Savior. After reading all the requirements of the law, I am convinced that I need Jesus the Messiah more than ever! How glad I am to be living in the year of Jubilee.

Redemption is a wonderful thing and I could go one about it. I wished our society would adopt something similar to the year of Jubilee to give people another chance of living right before the Lord. But what struck me was faintly related to the joy of release. It was that God said that the land was His and nobody had any rights to anything that He didn’t give them.

I think sometimes we all try to reason with God, but God is God and not us! What He says goes whether we like it, understand it, or not. We can ask why, but God doesn’t have to answer us. Many times, in fact most of the time He graciously does because as Jesus put it, we know His business and He calls us friends and not slaves. (Wasn’t that in our passage as well?) God is so good and He rules for our release and redemption! That means you may be on the giving end so someone else gets their release – which is so exciting to me! I get to partner with God! It may cost me something – SO WHAT! All that I have is the Lords.
