They speak, but at this point He has no need of answer.
Pilate says,"behold, your King" and they shout "away with Him, crucify Him!"
Barabas is walking freely, having no idea of what really just took place as the Innocent staggers in chains; beaten, bruised, and bleeding.
He knows where He is going. He knows what lies ahead. Our sins lay out on the hill of Golgotha and He adds them to the weight of His pain. Only this pain is different from the physical torture by the Romans. This suffering would preceed the wrath of God.
On that cross He steps into the Heavenly courtroom and declares that I will pay their fine, I will suffer on their behalf. Bearing our sin, suffering under our curse He was slain. He loved us to His own death, so that we may love Him to our own life.
Weep today! Weep for the Lamb that was slain! But do it in 2 ways. Weep in Godly sorrow that it took the Son of God to cleanse your impure, depraved life. Weep for JOY to HIS GLORY that His sacrifice saved a wretch like you!

About Me
- Wesley Morrow
- Married to the most lovely bride in the world with 3 beautiful little boy's, Ashton, Eric, and Aiden. I created this blog because I sometimes get a tendency to write my thoughts...Christ is the most important person my life. He comes before me, before my family, and before anyone else. But that doesn't mean I'm some kind of spiritual giant or perfected saint. I'm still a sinner saved by the awesome mercy and grace of God who screws up more often than I like...
