Rest is the way to a reset. Not just personally, but communally. Rest also requires trust. In Leviticus, God calls for a Sabbath (one day a week), a Sabbath year (the seventh year), and a Jubilee (the fiftieth year). This set apart time is not meant to be a burden, but a blessing. If we can trust the Lord that timing matters, risk rest, and then join Jesus in the reset, we can see more than just our own lives being made new.
- Series Description -
In the accounts of his life in the gospels, Jesus often says that the Kingdom of God - God’s rule and reign - is at hand. What is the history of this Kingdom though? Earlier in the narrative of Scripture, as God is forming His people, we learn about the concept of Jubilee. It’s a communal practice of release every fifty years--a societal reset meant to promote justice, forgiveness, and mercy. This communal loosening is all about not being our own masters, but letting the Kingdom, a Jubilee effort, master us. Does it seem like we need a reset societally? In our communities? In us? Let’s embrace the cry for Jubilee and let God’s good work reset, reorder, and reestablish our lives.
