A. The Eery Scene
1. Jesus was arrested in the garden at night.
2. Jesus’ three trials happened around dawn.
3. The crowd was made up mostly of Barabbas sympathizers.
4. The crowd in this scene was not the same as the Triumphal Entry.
5. The chief priests and elders fanned the flame.
6. Still, this was not a scene of unfairness, it was a scene of what the Gospel is.
B. Barabbas the Murderer
1. Jesus Barabbas
2. Barabbas was a patriot and hero.
3. Barabbas was a zealot.
4. The two different Jesus characters
a. Son of a father - "Bar" son of, and "abbas" father
b. Son of the Father
C. Pilate the Compromiser
1. Pilate was ruler over the Jews in that region.
2. Pilate knew Jesus was innocent.
3. Pilate compromised what he knew was right.
4. Compromise leads to 3 tragedies:
a. Compromise weakens character.
b. Compromise means lack of Truth.
c. Compromise weakens principle.
5. The crowd chose war over peace. Hate over love.
D. We are all Barabbas
1. Jesus knew His mission, do you?
2. Which Jesus will you choose?
3. The Roman Road
a. The human problem
Bottom Line: We got what Jesus deserved. Jesus got what we deserved (the price of freedom).
c. The human response
d. The human salvation
b. The human hope
