Jesus’ kingdom is a jubilee kingdom of forgiveness and cancelled debts. He said, “When you pray say, ‘forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us’” (Luke 11:4). Nothing can free you as much as receiving your own forgiveness and forgiving someone else. The two go hand in hand; we forgive because we are forgiven, and will not be forgiven if we do not forgive. Forgive! Release it and it will release you! Let it go and be free! Start living Jesus’ Jubilee!
