BARABBAS OR
JESUS
By Rev. Dean
Beaty 3/18/08
Pilate told the
crowd, “I find no fault in Him.”
Their hateful
contempt was filled to the brim.
Pilate tried hard
to find a solution.
Jesus did not
deserve execution.
He would give
them a choice, which one would it be?
Custom allowed
him to set someone free.
A murder or
miracle worker,
“Make up your
mind which do you prefer.”
Barabbas had
fought hard but he had not won.
He was in jail
for crimes he had done,
His execution he
was about to face.
But then someone
else came to take his place.
There is a choice
that we all have to make.
Jesus or
Barabbas, which one do you take?
Christ died in
our place to pay for our sin.
His precious
blood will cleanse us from sin.
Now from my sins
I am set free
Christ paid the
price on Calvary.
Amazing
love, how can it be?
That Thou
my God shouldst die for me.*
