JESUS' SUBSTITUTION STARTED WITH BARRABAS. THINK OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY RELEASED JESUS INSTEAD. JESUS HAD TO FINISH WHAT HE STARTED. HE CAME TO DIE FOR BARRABAS. FOR US. BARRABAS WAS A REPRESENTATION OF THE WORST...OF OUR WORST. AND JUST AS HE OVERCAME DEATH, WE CAN OVERCOME. ~TATE ELLISON
