The year of the Lord's favor, when God comes among us and puts things right that have been wrong for so long, delivering the weary and the dispossessed from their oppression, such glad tidings don't come as good news to the folks who have everything to gain by things staying the same. Because God isn't just saying pretty words. God will persist until the scales of justice have been balanced, until those who've lived so long with nothing have enough, until the widow, the orphan, and the stranger are accorded the dignity and protection their status as God's beloved confers. God will be their champion—not just in pretty words, but in the very real press of life.
