The Year of Jubilee offered a completely different economic model for his people to live by. It was one that took into account both Justice and Mercy in a brilliant weaving together that enabled people to live responsibly and yet with hope for the periods of life when things go really wrong.

I love the central teaching that once in every lifetime everyone had the chance to start again.  And I love the fact that Jesus picks up on that theme for his disciples.
