the acceptable year of the Lord

Last week I visited the Martin Luther King Jr. Historic Site in Atlanta, GA, and found myself in the back of Ebenezer Baptist Church listening twice through an audio of his sermon "Guidelines for a Constructive Church" .  He started his sermon by mentioning how the Supreme Court, in 1955, stated guidelines that every school district should integrate "with all deliberate speed".  The year he gave his sermon was 1966, and he mentioned that only 5.2 percent of the African-American student population had been integrated in the South over those 11 years. He shared that at the rate integration was happening, it would take another 96 years to integrate the public schools in the South.  As he spoke these words, I watched four different school tours come into the sanctuary.  All were African-American; there was one white female in the whole of these four classes...and we're 46 years past King's sermon.  Hmmm.

After talking about the Supreme Court's guidelines, King also went on to share that Christ's Church has some guidelines, too.  "The guidelines are clearly set forth for us in some words uttered by our Lord and Master as he went in the temple one day, and went back to Isaiah and quoted from him.  And he said, 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.' These are the guidelines."

He then went on to give several examples of "the acceptable year of the Lord".  A few:

"The acceptable year of the Lord is that year when men will keep their theology abreast with their technology."

"The acceptable year of the Lord is that year when men will keep their morality abreast with their mentality."

"The acceptable year of the Lord is that year when men will will do unto others as they will have others do unto themselves."

How would you finish the sentence, "The acceptable year of the Lord is the year that..."?
