Good Friday: Each and every person who cried out for Barabbas to be released was as guilty as he. And we too are just as guilty, for it was on account of our sins that He was slain.

Good Friday is coming up this week; so, this morning we’re going to focus on an event surrounding Jesus’ trial and crucifixion. We will be examining the account of Jesus and Barabbas, and this is apparently a significant event because it is shared in all four of the gospels. The other locations ...read more

Why did the crowd choose Barabbas over Jesus? Does it say something about their priorities - and ours?

Nathan wished he were anything but here. When he had reported for duty that morning he had no idea what he was getting into. Usually he loved being a temple guard. The pay was good, the duty was light, and the prestige was awesome. The hardest thing he had to do was keep his mouth shut about what ...read more

Jesus was killed while Barabbas, the genuinely guilty, was set free. This is a picture of salvation in that Jesus died so we, the guilty, may be set free.

The Irony of Good Friday… I am sure that the irony that reveals itself in the fact that we refer to today as Good Friday does not escape our minds. From the perspective of all who bore eyewitness to the events that transpired during the 24 hours of that first Good Friday, it was anything ...read more

The crowd cried for Jesus to be crucified and put to death but requested the killer, Barabbas be released in the streets. The truth was put to death but sin and death was released to the streets.

“Give Us Barabbas” Intro: As we study God’s Word we find particular people who are mentioned briefly and we soon pass over their record without fully gleaning the full significance of their rolls nor their application for us today.

All 4 gospels tell us the story of Barabbas (but we never learn the names of the other prisoners to die that day). Why? What is it about Barabbas that was so important that Scripture tells us his name?
