Jesus Died For Sinners
Jesus took the place of a sinner, a murderer , a
thief.
Jesus took the place of one condemned to die.
A man hated for his many, many crimes, a man who
deserved death.
The prison doors were opened, the captive was set
free
and all pardon was given to Him.
I wonder did He behold the innocent taking His
place?
Could He have believed in the Christ that day?
The day Barabbas saw Jesus taking His place?
Jesus took the place of every sinner, of every
sin.
He came to set the captive free, free from sins
bondage.
To save them from certain death, eternal
death.
To release us from the punishment we deserve,
Hell.
He paid our debt, he died for the sins of mankind.
Did Barabbas do one thing to deserve His freedom?
No, He did not deserve it, He did nothing to
obtain it.
Barabbas is a symbol of every sinner.
Jesus gave himself for your sins, for my sins.
"Jesus
paid it all, all to him we owe. "

I just wanted to add this... You know, the people chose, Barabbas over Jesus. But we all know, Jesus was born to die for the sins of the world.
He was God in the flesh. He willingly went to the cross for our sins.
The bible teaches if we offend one of the commandments we are guilty of all. So knowing God's Word is true, we are all undeserving before God.
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
