Reginald Killingly reflects on the first sermonette he gave in 1976 during Pentecost in Jerusalem while participating on an archeological dig. Jewish tradition assumes that the Law of God (The Ten Commandments or Decalogue) was given on this date at Mount Sinai. God gave His people freedom, making a contract with them with the humanitarian stipulation that they “pay forward,” or pass on the blessings they had received. Pentecost foreshadows another counting of fifty years, bringing us to the Jubilee, a time when debts would be forgiven and ancestral or family lands returned. When one is restored to freedom, he is obligated to walk circumspectly in order not to become entangled in debt again. Additionally, we must be willing to forgive debts owed to us. We are especially admonished to love God, and our neighbor as ourselves, which fulfills the entire law. The Ten Commandments outlines how we fulfill these love obligations. Pentecost and Jubilee have a deep connection, both dispensing freedom and the responsibility to love God and one another. As our debts have been wiped clean, we must gladly and freely forgive others.
