“And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.”
Mark 15:7 KJV
Now, Pilate was holding in custody a notorious criminal named Barabbas, one of the assassins who had committed murder in an uprising. The name Bar-Abbas means “son of a father” or “son who is like his father.” He becomes a picture of every son of Adam. The true Son of the Father was crucified that day. One man wanted a political revolution. The True Son wanted a revolution of love filling the hearts of all men. This hope of mankind was realised when the Holy Spirit was given at Pentecost. This hope is not a disappointing fantasy, because we can now experience the endless love of God cascading into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who lives in us! Amen!
