Geregtigheid, huisorde en die jubilee in Matteus

Abstract

Justification, house-order and jubilee in Matthew

The aim of this article is to describe the relationship between justification, house-order and jubilee in Matthew. There is both a horizontal and a vertical dimension to justification, as well as it having multiple nuanced meaning possibilities. By means of a triangular model the article describes the interdependent and interrelational nature of the relationship between justification, house-order and jubilee. The triangular model is an interpretation framework to avoid the one dimensional and simplistic understanding of justification and jubilee. The article concludes with a broad understanding of the jubilee which confirms its multi-dimensional nature and God’s new beginning with humanity in Jesus Christ.
