Episode Synopsis

Before sending Jesus to the cross, Pontius Pilate offered to release a Hebrew prisoner. The Jewish leaders, set on killing Jesus, called for the release of a murderous insurrectionist named Barabbas instead of the innocent Jesus. In effect, Jesus died in place of Barabbas. But Pastor Dion explains today that Jesus also died in our place. The story of Barabbas mirrors our story. Though we are the ones who earned condemnation through our sins, Jesus took the punishment on Himself so we don’t have to.
