Proclaim Jubilee!


Book Description

The biblical Jubilee that was celebrated once every fifty years is referred to in Leviticus 25 as the "Sabbath of Sabbaths". Its requirements included that the land lie fallow, all debts be forgiven, captives be freed, and a celebration held. Maria Harris considers the implications of a living Jubilee for today and for the next century. She offers a compelling argument that a living Jubilee is a comprehensive spirituality that would have a positive political, economic, and moral impact on individuals, families, religious congregations, institutions, and nations.

Jubilee


Book Description

The Jubilee theme is the Old Testament concept of declaring a special season for attaining spiritual renewal. In Jubilee, Mel Lawrenz skillfully takes readers through a season of renewal, pausing to examine the following themes and inviting readers to consider their own lives and their response to God. Sabbath: a time and an attitude in which we rehearse that God and God alone is in control. Proclamation: knowing what we stand for in life, and letting others know it. Redemption: being freed by God’s great acts of deliverance. Freedom: cherishing the liberty that God brings to every area of life. Forgiveness: accepting the mercy of God and releasing those we have held indebted to ourselves. Healing: letting God restore our spirit, our body and our relationships. Justice: standing for what is right and being an advocate for those who are downtrodden.

The Spreading of the Ministry of Jubilee


Book Description

The jubilee was a provision given to God’s people in Leviticus 25. Every fiftieth year, the year of jubilee, any land that had been sold was returned to its rightful owner and anyone who had sold himself into slavery was given back his freedom. Luke chapter 4 tells us that the Lord Jesus’ ministry opened with the proclamation of the jubilee, and in chapter 9 we see the spreading of the jubilee. Here the jubilee is the gospel of the New Testament, the proclamation of the release of the captives and of the recovery of the lost birthright. In this booklet taken from Life-study of Luke, Witness Lee considers the record in Luke 9:1-26 and the thought of the spreading of the jubilee that underlies it.

The Secret of Experiencing Christ


Book Description

The Christian life is one of experiencing Christ at all times. In order to enjoy and experience Christ in full, we need to see who Christ is, what He has done for us, and we especially need to see that we are in an organic union with Christ. This is the most crucial aspect of the secret of experiencing Christ. In The Secret of Experiencing Christ Witness Lee points out that it is in this organic union of the Spirit with our spirit that Christ lives in us and we live in Him.
