For our Resurrection Sunday gathering Michael Dow shared a word with us from John 18-19. 

"There is a Barabbas that lives on the inside of each of us."

"The crowd put pressure on Pilate to free Barabbas externally; Jesus was crucified and laid down His life to set Barabbas free internally."

"'Bar-Abba' means Son of the Father. They shouted, 'Give us Barabbas,' because they better identified with him. The murderer filled with brokenness, pain, weakness, insecurity, corruption. Humanity has always been confronted by what it sees in God and has desired to make Him more like them so they can feel better about the things that need to be changed."

Take a listen, enjoy!
