0:05.9	Matthew 27, verse 26, then he released for them Barabbas and having scourged Jesus,
0:12.6	delivered him to be crucified. I'll never read this verse in the middle of this long chapter
0:18.4	in Matthew 27 that describes the crucifixion of Jesus and the horrors of it. I am always struck by
0:27.0	this little verse when Pilate released for the crowds, Barabbas. And Jesus was delivered to be
0:34.6	crucified. And I just see my life in Barabbas' life. And your life is the same. We deserve the
0:46.6	just penalty of death. Barabbas did. And Jesus did not just had no sin in him. He did not deserve
0:58.4	death. And yet Barabbas is released. I read that word released in Matthew 27, 26, and I see my life.

2:11.4	freedom that Jesus made possible for you from death, that you don't have to fear death if you
2:18.5	are in Jesus that you have eternal life with him. You've been forgiven of all your sin. You've
2:25.4	been restored, reconciled to relationship with God saved from God's wrath through his blood
2:34.1	and free today from the control of sin. You are no longer a slave to sin. You're a slave to
2:41.6	righteousness. You are free to live an obedience to God, free to live and enjoy the fullness of
2:49.1	relationship with God, the fullness of life, the way God has created you to live it. So live
2:55.8	released, live free today. Jesus will praise you for making this possible for us. This gospel does
