Back in 2000, you may be interested, finally, to read what we were saying about the Millennium. We are, of course, a new station for a new millennium. This is the year of Jubilee, where debts are settled, and it ends on 6th January 2001, the day the fares go up! The year 2000 ends with the start of the new Millennium. You’ll remember all the premature fuss at the beginning of the year, but the real celebration for Christians is at the end of the year, and to be precise after the twelve days of Christmas on 6th January, when the current fares manual no.76 ends and all the fares go up. So book your place in the new Millennium early! The twelfth day after Christmas is known as Epiphany, and that’s the end of the year of Jubilee in 2000, i.e. six days into the new year of 2001. In Leviticus 25 the concept of Jubilee is outlined, but broadly every 50 years we set everything to zero, and all debts are canceled. There have been a lot of cancellations in the rail industry of late, but not the sort which you will have welcomed, and the whole railway owes its customers an apology big time! There is also the big Jubilee 2000 campaign, aiming to reduce Third World debt, which has been given a big end-of-year fillip by the Chancellor Gordon Brown. Jubilee begins with repentance! If a mighty, proud and arrogant organisation like Railtrack can try to make peace with its customers by placing full page advertisements in the national press saying "Sorry is Not Enough", then you can make your peace with God much more easily: just with a quiet prayer and a request for Jesus to come into your life. Then tell a Christian friend what you have done! You may be surprised at the results. If you’re a Christian already, say a prayer for our mission, please.
