Gospel of Luke 23:16-34 - Prog 101

Beginning in Luke 23 at verse 16, Pilate says he wants to release Jesus but the crowd wants Jesus crucified, no matter what. Sinful unbelief is adamant against the Savior at all costs. So, Pilate, under pressure, provides the people with a criminal named of Barabbas in accord with a custom to release a prisoner during Passover. Then Pilate handed Barabbas to them and Jesus to crucifixion. Jesus is our substitute. He bore the penalty that we, in our sin, deserve. He was the just one who suffered on behalf of the unjust that He might bring us to God. Also, Luke brings out that two criminals were crucified at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right side of Jesus. Jesus is at the center.
