I came across an article, thanks to my good friend Jason, that gives us a small picture of Jubilee.\u00a0 Debts forgiven, this is a central theme in the biblical narrative, one that ultimately becomes actualized in a person: Jesus Christ.\u00a0 Now, I think we do well\u00a0 not to over spiritualize Jesus declaration of Jubilee in Luke 4<\/a>, but to recognize that for Jesus it had a social and spiritual component.\u00a0 With that said, here\u2019s the story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A 375-year-old French bank has decided to forgive the debts of its poorest customers, Good.is reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Cr\u00e9dit Municipal de Paris, a Parisian institution that offers small, low-interest loans against inexpensive valuables, has announced a one-time cancelation of the debts of some 3,500 customers who owed the bank 150 euros (about $190) or less. The announcement marks the bank\u2019s 375th anniversary.<\/p>\n

A PR stunt? Maybe. But that isn\u2019t stopping thousands of customers from celebrating an unexpected windfall.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We don\u2019t know the motives of the bankers, but we can certainly say that this is a glimpse into what would be needed to liberate many poor throughout the world.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
