John 18:33-19:16 (CSB) 


Kingdom


Origin: Jesus’ kingdom isn’t from this world


Destination: Jesus’ kingdom is for this world


Matthew 6:10 (CSB)


John 17:18 (CSB)


Expansion: Jesus’ kingdom doesn’t spread by force


Truth


Truth#1 — Truth isn’t an idea, it’s a person


John 14:6 (CSB) 


Truth#2 — When the truth confronts us, we often choose Barabbas over Jesus


Behold, the man


Genesis 3:17-18 (CSB)


We reject our calling as images of God because Barabbas looks better than Jesus


Power


The world’s power is an illusion, Jesus’ power is real


The world misuses power because of corruption and fear, Jesus uses his power to serve others


Philippians 2:5-8 (CSB) 


Jesus has the ultimate power


Truth#3 — Jesus took Barabbas’ death and Barabbas was given Jesus’ freedom
