Jesus was rejected so we could be accepted

Days after the crowd was hailing Jesus' arrival into Jerusalem, suddenly the crowd quickly turns on Jesus. Tyler walks us through the sham of a trial Jesus received. It was never about the trial though, Jesus was executing His purpose that would resonate throughout eternity. The crowd chose Barabbas' release while Jesus, the innocent, was rejected. That moment became a reality for all who placed their faith in Jesus: the guilty are accepted while Jesus was rejected.

Questions for Reflection:

• Are there parts of your life where you are looking for a satisfaction in your soul from other human beings instead of from God?

• In what ways are you feeling rejected, or trying to clean yourself up, instead of running to the acceptance of Jesus?
