There is no starker example of injustice than when Jesus, completely innocent, was condemned to die, while Barabbas, guilty of murder, was set free. Everything within us screams that such a thing should not be! Yet, it must be if we are to be saved. Only the spotless Lamb of God could die in the place of sinners like us so that we might be forgiven before God. The innocent must die for the guilty so that the guilty might live for the glory of the One who set them free."
