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
