✨ Prophecy Fulfilled: The Life of Yeshua (Jesus) – Episode 61 “Barabbas or Yeshua” (Matthew 27:15–26; Mark 15:6–15; Luke 23:13–25; John 18:39–19:16) The sun was higher now. Jerusalem was awake. What had been decided in shadow during the night was about to be affirmed in daylight—before the people. The tension had not eased with morning; it had thickened. Yeshua was brought once more before Pontius Pilate. Still bound. Still silent. Still innocent. ⸻ ⚖️ A Governor Cornered Pilate knew exactly what stood before him. He had examined Yeshua. He had questioned Him. He had sent Him to Herod. He had received Him back mocked—but unchanged. No crime. No threat. No guilt. More than once, Pilate said it aloud: “I find no fault in Him.” Truth had been spoken clearly. But truth does not always halt injustice—especially when fear outweighs conscience. ⸻ 🧱 A Custom, a Crowd, a Calculation Pilate reached for precedent. Each Passover, one prisoner was released as a political gesture meant to ease unrest. Pilate saw an opportunity—a way to satisfy justice and preserve order without bloodshed. He presented the crowd with a choice. Two men were brought forward. One was Barabbas. A known insurrectionist. A man guilty of violence and murder. A name already stained with rebellion. The other was Yeshua. Unarmed. Unresisting. Called Messiah by some, threat by others. Pilate asked carefully: “Whom do you want me to release to you?” ⸻ 📣 Crowds and Propaganda Crowds are easily moved—not by truth, but by repetition, fear, and perceived authority. The city that had once celebrated Him now watched silently or joined the outcry, proving how quickly devotion collapses when propaganda replaces discernment. Praise without conviction is easily redirected, and public opinion—when untethered from truth—can be turned with frightening speed. ✝️ CONTINUED IN COMMENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #Love #Sacrifice #Jesus #BibleStudy #Scripture #Salvation #Help
