Mark 15 More Irony and a Beautiful Picture

It is ironic that the Son of the Father should be sentenced to death when they can find no crime that he had committed, while a criminal, Barabbas, named "son" (bar) of the "father" (abba) is set free. What a beautiful picture of the significance of the cross. Jesus, the innocent one, died so that I, the guilty one, could go free. That is why we gather to worship.

Father, never let me forget that I am your son because your Son willingly died for me.
