Isaiah 59:12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; 13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood
“Barrabas” in our day represents everything that we know to be wrong. Thus, by deliberately choosing a known wrong, persons would be choosing Barabbas over Christ, just as the people in Christ’s day knew it was a criminal they were choosing over Christ. Willful blindness does not render persons or nations void of responsibility for the choices made. In every thing that we do, in every choice that is made, clear lines of truth, righteousness, and judgment should bear sway, without bias or favoritism.
We all are now on the cusp of the most momentous scenes that are to transpire upon the earth at a time when the world, and America in particular is volatile on all levels. Therefore, in every choice that folks have to make, whether it be on the job, at home, in business, or in spiritual things let none be found choosing Barabbas over Christ, for if we do, individually, and nationally, our own probation may close not long after.
We therefore end with a passage of scripture which should awaken us to the urgency of the moment. It is not the will of God that we remain ignorant of the prophecies that are being fulfilled in our day, for the things that are happening currently, portend those climactic scenes that are just on the horizon.
Isaiah 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 15 Yea, truth fails; and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
