I am Barabbas: a rebel, an insurrectionist, a murderer. I was full of hatred and deceit, I was condemned unto death.
I was supposed to be killed, bearing the full punishment on a brutal cross, to be scourged and made to drink the cup of the King's wrath. I was a rebel, and was supposed to be utterly destroyed.
But in my place Jesus Christ went, up on that hill I was supposed to die on, bearing my cross and the burden of my guilt. He was innocent, and I was a murderer. He is the King, and I was a rebel.
Now I'm free, exonerated, set free by the death of the Righteous One. Now I'm free forever, and I will always remember the One who bore my burdens on Calvary.
