himself he cannot return or be redeemed. The jubilee comes only from God. God returns us to our possession, and God releases us from bond age.

TWO GREAT BLESSINGS

OF THE GOSPEL

We have seen that the two main blessings of the jubilee are being returned to our possession and being released from slavery. In the New Tes tament these are two great blessings of the gos pel. The gospel declares that God has returned us to Himself as our possession and that He has set us free from bondage, from slavery, especially from the slavery of sin. The bondage of sin is the worst kind of bondage. Those who live in sin are bound in many ways. But when a person is set free from sin, he is also set free from many things. When we were set free from sin, we were also set free from the slavery of the law.

By the Lord's mercy I can testify that I enjoy God as my possession, as my food, house, cloth ing, and transportation. I can also testify that I have been released from bondage. I am free from the slavery of sin and from the bondage of law and religion. Praise the Lord for the blessings of the jubilee!

We all need to learn how to enjoy the jubilee. When we enjoy the jubilee, we shall be able to go out to proclaim the jubilee. We shall sound the trumpet of the gospel and tell others that now is the time for God to accept them, that now is the time for them to be returned to God as their possession and to be freed from every kind of slavery, bondage, and entanglement. Those who have been returned to God and who have been released from bondage are free to enjoy God. To proclaim this is to sound the trumpet of the ju bilee, to announce the jubilee of God's New Tes tament economy. May we all enjoy the blessings of the jubilee and then sound forth the jubilee as the gospel.
