In our passage this morning, we encounter a great injustice. We see the trial of Jesus before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. This is the trial that will definitively decide Jesus’ verdict and sentencing. We see three reasons that Jesus was crucified, and behind it all we see that Jesus, though innocent, was convicted so that sinners, though guilty, may be freed.
The innocent man takes the place of criminal, and the criminal goes free.

In this message, we follow along with Jesus at his trial before Pilate in Matthew 27:11-26. Jesus shows us the positive value of silence; that silence truly can be golden. During His trial, we see Jesus is silent because of three things: because he knows his Father, because He submits to his Father's plan, and because He is committed to his Father's purpose for him. Speaker: Minister & Lead Pastor, Tom Olsson Passage: Matthew 27:11-26 This was recorded live in Grand Rapids, MI on June 30th 2024.

Pilate knew Jesus was innocent (Matthew & Luke's gospels make this clear), but the crowds were loud and insistent, so he caved and agreed to release Barabbas and send Jesus to the cross. Barabbas' connection with Jesus can't be a coincidence. His name means "son of the father", while Jesus is the Son of the Father. One tried to take the throne by force, while the other is the actual King of all. The people freed the wrong "son", but this was God's plan from the beginning. You and I are clearly the ones guilty and deserving of condemnation (Romans 3:23 & 6:23), but we are set free because of the willing substitution of the Son of God in our place. As we more greatly understand the depths of our sin, we can all say, “I am Barabbas.” And as we understand more the incredible sacrifice of Christ we will say, “All I have is Christ!”.
