The Way of the Cross: Matthew:27 March 22, 2026

In this Lenten series, Pastor Mike focuses on “the great exchange” in Matthew 27, where the guilty Barabbas is set free while the innocent Jesus is condemned, revealing the depth of human sin and the greater depth of Christ’s love. Pilate, the crowd, and Barabbas each illustrate a reversal of justice, showing how Jesus willingly takes the place of the guilty and bears what others deserve. The message invites listeners to see themselves in Barabbas and to consider how they will respond to the new life and freedom Jesus offers through his substitutionary sacrifice.
