Barabbas deserved prison and death for he had committed murder. Jesus deserved none of this for He had committed no crimes. Of course the Jews would have had reason to kill Christ for claiming to be God if it was not the truth. Don’t lose sight that you and I are Barabbas! You and I deserve Hell, and no relationship with God. You and I have committed sin and we stand before God condemned. But Jesus, laid down His life in my place and in your place if you will put your trust in Him. Jesus took the beating we deserved! We must never lose sight of this amazing grace. We must always remember it is nothing that we deserved but God’s grace and mercy that He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. Rejoice not because you deserve to, but because God gave you reason and hope to rejoice. Enjoy your undeserved day of grace given to us by God’s love.
