The governor again said to them, “Which of the two do you want me to release for you?” And they said, “Barabbas.” (Matthew 27:21)

Daily reading: Jeremiah 35

Life is full of choices, some we want to make, some we wish we didn’t have to. Barabbas’ name in his own language meant ‘a son of a father.’ We might wonder how many times this son had made a choice to disobey his father. We know Barabbas was in prison for murder and other crimes. The crowd could have chosen to have Jesus released: Jesus, THE Son of THE Father. Peter testifies of the people’s choice: you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you (Acts 3:14). Lawless men convicted the innocent Law-giver. Bad choices may result from misinformation or simply prejudice. Let us be careful in our choices today.
