Have you ever stopped to reflect on Barabbas’ role in the Easter narrative? I get it, he’s the villain, the murderer, the bad guy who got away…we don’t like to think of him as being part of Easter. But he is. He is because Barabbas is each of us! I believe that through Barabbas we learn about our ultimate need, our ultimate value, and our ultimate purpose. This Easter message considers this criminal who was set free and how we should not only see ourselves in him but be inspired to do the hard work of ridding our lives of him!
