When the people cried out crucify him, Pilate
said to them, “Why, what evil has He done?” The people shouted louder
“Crucify Him”. Pilate wanting to satisfy the crowd released Barabbas and
delivered Jesus to be crucified. Everyone in that crowd knew of the
virtuous life of Jesus. A perfect man obedient to the Father, empowered
by the Holy Spirit, who manifested the fruit of the Spirit, and the compassion
of God; He went about doing good, healing people, helping people,
feeding people, setting people free from all oppression. Even Pilate
admitted “I FIND NO FAULT IN THIS MAN” (Luke 23:4), even the demons
declared He was “THE HOLY ONE OF GOD!” (Mark 1:24).
Jesus was the
summation of all moral qualities the incarnation of all virtue. Yet in
spite of all of this the people cried “crucify Him!”, “crucify Him!”
Think about it! Barabbas instead of Jesus. A thief instead of a giver, a
sinner instead of a Savior, a killer instead of a healer, a peace
breaker instead of a peace maker, an evil man instead of a righteous
man. This is still happening today as people choose all kinds of things instead of Jesus Christ.
