I am Barabbas

I am Barabbas

I am Barabbas
I am guilty
a Prisoner
liar
Murderer
sinner
But set free
One Who is called Christ
took my place
took the punishment for my sin
and I am set free

But also I am not Barabbas
I received grace
I was adopted as son
By the One who took my place

I am set free and i am God's son
By grace



* Ephesians 2: 1-10
*Romans 8: 14-17
* Matthew 27:15-23

Rest from burdens

Jesus offers rest
No more burden
working trying to earn grace
Rest for your soul
Jesus and disciples walk through grainfields
on the Sabbath
At some to still their hunger
The Pharisees on the prowl
crying out foul foul
They break our laws
your law but our burdens added on
"I desire mercy and not sacrifice!"
What don't you understand?
On they go to the synagogue
There, a man with a withered hand
Pharisees again ready to accuse
Jesus ready to help and heal
The man's hand restored
the Pharisees refuse to believe
Evidence they received
but this Messiah doesn't fit in their puzzle

Matthew 11:25- 12: 14
