• Exceptionally great concentration, power, or force.
• The amount or degree of strength of electricity, light, heat, or sound per unit area or volume
Jeremiah 9:23-24 (AMP)
23 Thus says the LORD, “Let not the one who is wise and skillful boast in his insight; let not the one who is mighty and powerful boast in his strength; let not the one who is rich boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] abundance 24 but let the one who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me [and acknowledges Me and honors Me as God and recognizes without any doubt], that I am the LORD who practices lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on the earth, for in these things I delight,” says the LORD. [1 Cor 1:31; 2 Cor 10:17]

Communion:
• Jesus takes bread and wine and introduces them to the most holy of
sacraments
• A tradition they didn’t have the spiritual ability to fully understand at the
time
• The holy Eucharist or what we call communion
The Garden of Gethsemane:
• Jesus is visibly distraught
• And Luke go boy he tells us that Jesus was sweating blood
• Jesus is pleading with the father to let this cup pass from him
• I don’t think he’s concerned about the torture or the beating
• I don’t think he’s worried about the loneliness or betrayal
• But what he can’t stand the thought of is being separated from God
• Having the wrath of God poured out on Him

Abandoned:
• He stands by himself in front of Caiaphis the high priest
• Joining in on the mockery are the Sanhedrin and scribes
• All of the “Spiritual Leaders” of the day
False witnesses:
• They try and find fault in Jesus
• They brought people in to lie about Jesus
• This wasn’t an actual trial
• They were weaponizing justice

Jesus is brought before a Pilate
• A man who seen hundreds of not thousands of people put the death.
• He’s probably personally seen men begging plead for the lives.
• But Jesus sits there silently it doesn’t even try to defend himself.

The Chief Priest had to break the very commandments God had given them to destroy the One who was sent by Him.
"And all the people answered and said, 'His blood be on us and on our
children.'”
- In 70AD when the temple is destroyed over 500 Jews were crucified a day.
A man called Jesus is taking your place
This wasn’t merely political pressure- it was a prophetic fulfillment

Barabbas in the Arabic language
• Is bar- Abbas
• The word bar and his name is patronymic
• Which is a fancy word for saying the name is derived from father or paternal ancestor.
Abba in Aramaic means father
• Barabbas literally means son of the Father
It would’ve been enough of Jesus just took our place and died on our behalf.
• Jesus defeated death hell and the grave
• He took the keys from the enemy
When that stone heavy stone was rolled away, so was our death sentence.

Now we’ve been adopted as sons and daughters of the most high God.
I want to ask you this morning what are you doing with the freedom that
Jesus paid for?
Have you received it? Rejected it? Abused it?
Nothing can save you but the blood of Jesus

In Jesus name,
amen.
