Mark 15:1-15

VERSE OF THE DAY: Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. —Mark 15:15

Jesus is delivered to Pilate, and after the chief priests continued to stir up the crowds against Jesus, Pilate releases Barabbas and delivers Jesus up to be crucified.

REFLECTION: Who Do You Want Released?

• Everyone serves a King.
• The crowd chose Barabbas, the rebel, because they wanted to be their own king.
• Pilate gave them what they wanted.
• Who do we want in our lives?
• Do you want rebellion unleashed in your life?
• Do you want the King released in your life?
• The rebel chooses their own way.
• The King’s Way is BETTER–ALWAYS.
• CHOOSE THE KING.

Q's: How can you demonstrate choosing the king over the rebel today?
