"Amazing love! How can it be That thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be That Thou, my god shouldst die for me?"
Today my pastor told a good sermon, to Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is my life, He set me free!
"No condemnation now I dread, I am my Lord's and He is mine; Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine."
My pastor talked about Barabbas from John 18: 39-40 "The King of the Jews" or "Barabbas"?
Barabbas was a notorious murderer, a violent man, robber, common thief. Pilate wanted Jesus released so Pilate took the most wickedest man, thinking the people for sure would choose Jesus. To the people Barabbas was less threatening to the people than Jesus. Jesus threatens them by convicting them. They chose the murderer, the outlaw.
Barabbas condemned to die walks out Scott free! His story is our story. Barabbas, on death row, ready to die, but was set free! His chains fell off. Barabbas accepted his pardon. Have you accepted HIS pardon? Because if not you will have a death sentence.
"And Can It Be That I Should Gain and interest in the Savior's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued?" Amazing Love! How can it be That Thou my God shouldst die for Me? "
by Charles Wesley, 1701-1788
