 When asked who they wanted released from prison - Barnabas (a filthy scoundrel) or Jesus (sinless in every way) they cheered "Barnabas!" When asked what to do with Jesus they shouted "Crucify him." Would you cheer to have Jesus killed? Would you cheer to have a criminal released and the Savior executed? This is part 6 of our Lenten series, where we are looking at the story of Jesus' Crucifixion in Matthew 27:11-66.

In response to this episode we are holding each other accountable in our devotional reading by sharing in our Facebook Group: If you could stand in Barnabas' shoes, how would you feel seeing the Savior of the World take your place? What are some praises you have for humble and obedient Savior? When you read Matthew 27:11-55 what verses does the Holy Spirit drawing your attention to? What verses do you have questions about?

Jesus called Judas out at the dinner table: "The one who dipped his hand in this dish with me will betray me." All eyes were on Judas, questioning and wondering what Jesus meant. And did Judas still go commit that sin? Yes. Would you still go commit a sin even if Jesus called you out on it? As we continue our Lenten Series (part 5), we are taking a look at Matthew 26:1-27:10 and examining the events that led to Jesus' crucifixion. 

The goal of our Lenten series is to bring Christian Travelers together in Bible Study so that we can be holding each other accountable in our faith walk. In response to this episode we are inviting everyone to respond to the following questions in our Facebook Group: How would you mentally, physically, or emotionally respond if Jesus called you out before you committed a sin? What would be going on in your mind as you committed the sin? When you read Matthew 26:1-27:10, what things did the Holy Spirit draw your attention to or would you like clarification on?

What would you do if you knew you had only a few days left to live? Would you be like Jesus, and wash the disciples feet? That is one humble leader, and an attitude I often fail to replicate.
