They could have freed Jesus from crucifixion, but they chose Barrabus. The people welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem as their Messiah, someone who would free them from Roman oppression. But seeing him standing there under Roman guard, he didn’t look much like their champion anymore. Egged on by the religious leaders, they chose the freedom fighter Barrabus. He was a murderer and a thief, but he was also a man of war who fought against the Romans. More hope of him than this man preaching turn the other cheek. They had a choice, so do we.

Ah but it wasn’t in Gods plan. Who can figure the workings of God out. I imagine we will all be surprised when we find out all God has done. Praise him for his dedication to us. Thanks Sheila ❤️
