Choosing the Criminal over Christ — WJD! for 11/19/2014 But it is one of your customs for me to free one prisoner to you at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to free this king of the Jews? They yelled back, No, not him! Let Barabbas go free! (Barabbas was a rebel.) — John 18:39-40 (ERV) Key Thought: At first glance, we look at the choice made by the people on this horrible day and wonder how they could do it. However, when we take a long look at ourselves, we are struck by the many times we have chosen other things over Christ in our lives. In fact, that is what sin often is—choosing something we want over the will and the work of Jesus! So today, lets be humbled and reminded how fickle we can be. One day we are shouting hosannas and hallelujahs to Jesus and a week later we are choosing something totally opposite to Jesus. Lets not trade the Lordship of Christ in our lives for anything else, for that would be ... criminal! Todays Prayer: Give me an undivided heart, O God, and help me follow my Lord Jesus Christ with passion and perseverance. Open my eyes to the many things that would distract me from my commitment to Christ. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
