Barabbas in the Bible - a Christian perspective
Barabbas was a criminal who was in prison when Jesus was brought to trial. Pilate offered the people a chance to free one prisoner of their choice, thinking they'd choose Jesus--but they asked for Barabbas' release instead.

The Sweet Celebration of the Loyal Fans - #5805
God seems silent and things seem to being getting worse instead of better. Your hopes were just sealed in a tomb. Now is the moment of truth in your relationship with the man who gave His life for you. He did not abandon you when it meant the cross. Are you going to abandon Him? It's Mary Magdalene time: time to stand by Jesus, to stand firm in your commitment to Him, even when it feels like there's no reason to.

The Bumpy Road to a Beautiful Place - #5804
The bumps can make you wonder if you're even on the right road. Which you are, if God led you on it. The long, hard ride can leave you confused and hurting from all the bumps, all focused on yourself. If you're not careful, you'll turn around and leave the road God put you on; the road that ultimately leads to the Promised Land that He wants to give you.

Nailing Your Colors to the Mast - #5803
Too many times, you've lowered your colors, but not anymore. Not after what Jesus has done for you. Not when somebody's eternity may depend on you telling what you know. For once, for all, you are nailing your Jesus-colors to the mast so they'll never come down again.

Gethsemane in the Bible: Matthew 26:36-46
As the hour of his death drew nearer, Jesus went with his disciples to pray in the garden of Gethsemane. It is here that Jesus rebuked his disciples for not being able to stay awake in prayer--and it is here that Jesus' betrayer arrived with soldiers to arrest him.

Jesus is risen - a Christian perspective

Easter in the Bible - a Christian perspective
The day of the first Easter ranks as one of the most astounding events in all of history. The disciples were still in mourning, many had probably already began making small steps towards getting over their loss--as much as one could only three days later. Yet, in the midst of this heartache Jesus is found to have risen!

Palm branches - a Christian perspective
As Jesus rode into Jersualem on Palm Sunday, the enthusiastic crowds greeted him joyfully, and waved palm branches as he passed. Just a few days later, they would be calling for his execution.

He is not here - a Christian perspective
Perhaps the most amazing words in all of the Bible are these, uttered by the angel standing guard at Jesus' empty tomb: "He is not here." Christ had risen from the dead!
