Meditation
Matthew: What happens next is another object-lesson literally. The gospel drama is being played out in public for all to see. The just for the unjust. Jesus is being condemned and a notorious killer (Barabbas) is being freed, This is precisely the kind of exchange that is made for each one of us who accepts Christ. The very same. We are delivered to freedom while Jesus to death. To be redundant the righteous died for the unrighteous.
Gospel: Matthew 27:11-23
New Testament: Romans 15:25-33
Old Testament: Joshua 23:1-16
