More Than an Empty Tomb: The Significance of Barabus's Freedom


Listen Later

This message from Danny delves into the dramatic biblical account in Matthew 27:15-23, focusing on the moment the crowd chose Barabus over Jesus, called the Christ. It explores the incredible scene of Jesus taking the place of a guilty man, bearing the punishment Barabus deserved. Imagine being Barabus, facing death for your crimes, only to be freed while the innocent Jesus is led to the cross.


Danny highlights the swift shift in public opinion from "Hosanna" to "Crucify". He points out the irony of Barabus's name, meaning "son of the father," potentially even "Jesus Barabbus," contrasting with Jesus, the true Son of the Father. The message emphasizes the profound truth that Jesus literally carried the cross Barabus would have carried, taking his death.
