Jesus came to forgive debts, not sins. The original meaning of the Lord’s Prayer in Hebrew and Greek was “Forgive us our debts.” When he unrolled the scroll of Isaiah in the synagogue and declared that he “came to proclaim the year of the Lord,” he spoke of “deror” or debt cancellation. He advocated for the tradition of the Jubilee year which was brought from Babylonia into Judaism, and which served to restore balance and relieve debt slaves and their families from indefinite servitude to lending classes.
