Listen from:
The children of Israel weren’t in their promised land yet, but God’s thoughts were of it. It was being held by God, for God’s people. (Read Heb. 4:1-11). Israel entered their land of rest, but they spoiled it. Christ has given us a rest which can never be spoiled.
V.1-7 Every seventh year, they were to let the land rest.
V.8-17 Every fifty years, all the land was to be given back to its original owners. How kind of God! The land wouldn’t get into the hands of a few rich people.
V.25-55 Even people who became poor, and had to become a hired servant to another, were all set free on the year of jubilee. The Lord Jesus has set us free. We were slaves to sin, but He has paid the price of our redemption. The Lord owned the land. He only loaned it to His people. All would go back to Him in the end. The truth of God has been loaned to us to enjoy. Good it is when we take care of it!
