How many times have we stood on that stage? Zero. While Barabbas is a good word picture for us, we are not him. And how many people do you know who would be so self-condemning as Judah is making himself out to be here? The more disturbing thing at this point is to connect the dots Judah Smith has laid out so far.
The cross is a love story
Barabbas was a bad guy
It was really Jesus that chose Barabbas to be released
Jesus love Barabbas
You are Barabbas
Jesus loves you
