The Year of the Lord's Favor
Jesus came to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. The jubilee, the year of cancellation of debts (Lev 25:8-17; Sloan 1977:39-41). What happened in that year, when debts were canceled and slaves were freed, pictures what Jesus brings for those who respond to his message of hope. Jesus builds on the picture of Isaiah's ministry, which also proclaimed such hope, and notes that what the prophet had proclaimed Jesus is fulfilling.

That is crazy that you posted that today. I was listening to Graham Cook this morning and was going to text you what I heard. Well, I'll just tell you now. The Lord is eternally blind to the sins He has forgiven. Sounds familiar!
