The picture here of Barabbas is meant to show us that Jesus takes the place of the condemned. All who trust in Christ will receive salvation because He has paid the penalty.

Christ, the Son of God, has been abandoned and rejected by all. Yet this is the Lord’s plan.

Apart from His saving grace, all of us are like Judas and the mob. Even in His saving grace, we are no better than the disciples. Praise the Lord that His love for us is not based on our performance, but instead on His faithfulness.

The truth of every Christian is that we don’t have the strength, but Jesus does. Our hope is only in Him and His work, never in our own “strength.”

Christ is the Passover lamb – He will quite literally be the sacrifice for our sins. But unlike every other Passover lamb, Jesus will also live again and return for His people.

Those who reject Christ are unable to see anything redeeming in those who honor Him. Yet, even Christ’s disciples (minus Judas) will end up being redeemed by Him.
