The average american credit card dept is $7,281. The easiest things to do these days is to get into dept with credit cards, entertainment running bills like cable, cell phones etc… In fact, our fall back financial security blanket is a credit card for a great number of us. Now, being dept free is a dream we all have, but in order to be dept free either one pays the dept, someone else pays it, or one receives a loan forgiveness. Loan forgiveness is not something that is practiced today even within in family members. In fact, many have a hard time releasing others that have a non-material dept. The idea of forgiveness is a God thing; the releasing of a dept.
Deuteronomy 15:2
2 This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made to a fellow Israelite. They shall not require payment from anyone among their own people, because the Lord’s time for canceling debts has been proclaimed.
Every seven years the people of Israel had the fortune of dept cancellation from their brother’s loan or dept. So, if for some reason members of the Israelite’s became servants of someone in there own tribe once the seventh year came in they would have to be released and were sent away but not empty handed. That seventh year was called they year of Jubilee when dept’s were cancelled out (Lev. 25:54-55). “The English word Jubilee comes from the Hebrew word yobel (יֹּובֵל) meaning a trumpet sound“. God always provides a time for his people to be released (Ps. 25:15). This man who was in dept to another in Matthew 18 was brought to his dept collector to give account for his dept, but because of mercy he was forgiven and released from it (18:26). To every temptation or trial God provides a release (1 Cor. 10:13, Ps. 124:7). Jesus came for the very purpose, to provide a way out from captivity. His very purpose to set the captives free becomes a reality as soon someone gives him Lordship in their lives (Is. 6:1). The year of Jubilee was that acceptable year when all dept’s were forgiven and released. Paul wrote to the church stating that we have been set free for a special purpose (Jubilee) and that is that we serve in newness (Ro. 7:6).
