BARABBAS Let’s first take a look at the man Barabbas. According to Luke 23:25, Mark 15:7 and John 18:40 he was a murderer, a robber, and guilty of sedition against the government. Because of this, the Roman government put him in jail. Matthew 27:15-16 tells us: “Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would. And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.” He was not just a prisoner, he was a notable prisoner! Verses 17-18: “Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.” Pilate knew that the chief priests and elders of the Jews delivered Jesus unto him because of envy. Those top leaders of the Jewish religion were jealous of Jesus; they begrudged Him His position! Look at verses 1-2: “...all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.” The religious leaders had no authority to execute people or deal with governmental matters. Pointus Pilate was the Roman governor who was appointed to be over the nation of Israel. He was the real governmental authority and he absolutely knew that the only reason they brought Jesus to him to be crucified was for envy. Look at the communication between Pilate and his wife in verse 19: “When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.” Even Pilate’s wife knew that Jesus was a just man. But Pilate chose not to heed her warning. In the meantime, the chief priests and the elders were busy stirring up a multitude of people persuading them to carry out their own plan to have Jesus put to death. Verse 20: “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.” How effective was their campaign? Well, watch mob mentality take over. Verses 21-23: “The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the

twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.” Jesus had committed no evil. The Bible said: “he who knew no sin”, but these people were not even thinking for themselves. They had been persuaded by these jealous religious leaders into asking to have a man who was a thief, a murderer, and a seditionist to be released instead of Jesus. It did not take much to stir up this crowd. It was not the disciples of Jesus screaming for Him to be crucified. It was the general populace, much like it is today, that didn’t want Him around. They did not have any good reason for their actions and neither do the people of today. But remember, everyone will be confronted with Jesus at one time or another. Hebrews 9:27 states: “...it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Look, Barabbas was mentioned by name 5 different times in Matthew 27. His name means: son of the father. Jesus is the Son of the heavenly Father. Barabbas is the son of a human father. Barabbas had a human appeal; Jesus had a spiritual appeal. It is still the same today. Jesus still has a spiritual appeal, but people are not interested in that. It is the fleshly and carnal things of this world that draw people. II Timothy 3:4 states: “...lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” Which category do you fall in? Will you also say: “Away with Him, I will not have this man reign over me!” Those people said in verse 25: “...His blood be on us, and on our children.” Are you also making a decision that could affect your children and result in them going to Hell? It is something serious to think about.
