Can you believe the crowd in Matthew 27:11-26? They chose the criminal. They could have picked either this condemned thieving murderer named Jesus Barabbas to be released to them or their only real hope and friend named Jesus Christ. I'm wondering who would I choose.
The idea of choosing the condemned reminds me of Romans 8:1. "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Maybe it is because I have been trying to hammer this part of Romans in my head for the last few months. But I am so conscious of how easy it is to accept the enemy's offered accusations about me. It may be how I act or look or on any topic under the sun. It's time to stop.

Lord, help us to remember who we are in You. Help us to reject the enemies lies. Thank you we can choose the truth that in You we are cared for and not condemned.
