As you know today on Good Friday the Christian Church will gather World-Wide to remember the death of Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago.
All around the world people will make decisions about Jesus today.
Here in our city of Newcastle people will decide today to either worship Jesus or just ignore Jesus.
As we think about the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ on this Good Friday we find that as you read the Bible people made decisions about Jesus that affected their lives and the lives of others.
Judas in the Bible made a decision to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
There were Jewish leaders that made a decision in regards to Jesus and they chose to tell lies about Jesus in order to kill Jesus.
There was the Jewish High Priest, Caiaphas he had to make a decision about Jesus.
When Jesus was arrested and bought before Caiaphas there were people that made a decision that Jesus should die.
Others made a decision to spit on Jesus and others made a decision to physically assault the Lord Jesus.
Pilate thought that he would release Jesus but the pressure of the crowd forced Pilate to make an unexpected decision. Pilate released a man called Barabbas instead.
The Unexpected decision allowed a rebellious murderer to go free. I wonder how Barabbas felt when that decision was made in his favor to set him free.
That day an innocent man, Jesus Christ… took the place of a guilty man, Barabbas.
Jesus Christ made a SUBSTITIONARY SACRIFICE for ALL of us whom are guilty.
There are 2 types of people in the World those that receive Christ and those that reject Christ.
