Homily from the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Jesus speaks of a Year of Jubilee, during which slaves would be set free, debt would be paid, and land returned. Going beyond the surface, we can understand that Jesus has paid the debt of our sin, wants to free us from our slavery to sin, and always reorients our attention toward Heaven, the new Promised Land. We only have to accept his offer.
