Jesus was stirring up the people against the government. He was a class A trouble maker. Come on, they made the right choice.

daily kristina... I didn't know that was what Barabbas meant.... wow, that's really insightful and makes a ton of sense in the form of "They made this up so it's symbolically accurate".
Thanks!

Interesting question, and a good summary of the perspective of those who wanted Jesus out of the picture. I don't know if it was the right, or nice thing to do, but I think it was meant to be. Interesting to notice that the name Barabbas litteraly means son of God (Bar- son of, Abbas - the Father). I think it fitting symbolically that the child of God (or children of God, or all of us spiritually speaking) was set free because Jesus was not.

there is an thrilling theory kicking around that "Barabbas" (at as quickly as translated: Son of the father) and Jesus have been a similar individual, and the story grew to become into injected in via early Christians to direct the blame on the Jews somewhat of the Romans. This grew to become into with a view to objective to make their memories perfect to Roman government. that's in simple terms hypothesis, yet I continuously theory it grew to become into nutrients for theory.

No they chose the wrong person doorknob, Barababas was a murder, and Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead. Besides Jesus went to the cross so you could have a chance to have a relationship with GOD. He went to the cross for Barabbas and for you.

there's a brand of christianity that thinks jesus would have started his 1000 year reign back in the day if he had been accepted as the messiah by his people - and that because they didn't, THAT is what made his sacrifice necessary.
i don't really think that way, there seem to be too many references to the messiah suffering and taking on our sins for that to be true... but it's an interesting thought.

Since the whole purpose of the divine incarnation in the person of Jeshua was to sacrifice himself for the sins of humanity, how could it be otherwise? Had Judas not "betrayed" him, what? No crucifixion, no salvation. No Christianity. Sooner or later--if it was what it was--it had to happen. It's called a divine plan.

You know they made the choice, but it was already predestined to happen. If you think about it, if Jesus didn't die for us then we would have been all destroyed for our sins would never be forgiven and what use would God have for us on this earth, if we continued the way we are!

I know they made the right choice because without Jesus' death and resurrection I would not have a chance at salvation.

He was doing things that went against the laws of the ruthless government but he wasn't doing anyone harm.

They are still reaping the consequences of that decision even today...........
We have to be glad that Jesus (Yeshua) came to seek and save we who were LOST (hell/eternity) no matter what took place.
I often ask myself what I would have done had I been there.
