There was once a preacher who was traveling between cities. He had lived in cities all of his life. He could tell you how to find a good parking spot, what neighborhoods to avoid within the city, and how to avoid traffic by using the backstreets. He was a smart guy with plenty of personality,

Dr Warren Wiersbe has some excellent words we all need to keep on the "front burner" of our mind so that we have our loins (minds) girded for action (before) the next time we are tempted to commit some flagrant, presumptive, abominable sin against our Holy, Holy, Holy God.

Here is a conjecture about a historical event, but it could have happened just this way. A man named Barabbas had been involved in open revolt against Roman rule, and was guilty of murder. He was in prison awaiting crucifixion – death by extended, painful, torturous suffering. Possibly the prison
