This sermon proclaims the good news of the Gospel for all! Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, the perfectly innocent & righteous one lays down his life for the guilty and sinful.
Both Judas & Barabbas are guilty men. Judas acknowledges his sin in betraying Jesus. Barabbas is a murderer deserving of imprisonment and punishment. Who among us can argue with integrity that we have not sinned against God in any way?
Yet, Jesus takes on the guilt, imprisonment, and punishment of death that Barabbas truly deserved. This offer of the cleansing blood of Jesus to replace the blood of guilt is graciously offered to us too.
Don’t be like Judas who when he became aware of his sin ran from God! But instead run towards the grace & mercy offered by a loving Saviour pledging to live your days serving the eternal King.
