John 18:40

Then they all cried again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.

Heavenly and Holy Father, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers who glorified Your Servant Son Jesus. He was delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. They denied You the Holy One and the Just and asked for a murder to be granted and then killed You Jesus the Prince of life whom God raised from the dead. Oh, what that day must have been like. Father, I ponder and pridefully think I would never have shouted crucify Him, crucify Him but when I was married to my sin and delighting in my ways, with a mind seared and bent on worldly idols I most likely would have. I have a disdain when I look back at who I was and am filled with overwhelming gratitude for Your loving sacrifice that has transformed me and given me life. Father as I meditate on the cross, I ask for a deeper understanding of the amazing love Jesus had for me and mine. I ask for You would open the minds and hearts of my lost loved ones and draw them to Your pierced side where blood and water gushed out in cleansing streams and the breath of life. Lord thank You for laying down Your life so in You I may live and move and have my being. May all glory and honor be given You Jesus now and forever more, Amen.

The Roman Road

Who is Good?
Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seek after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no not one."
Who has sinned?
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;"
The eternal cost of your sin.
Romans 6:23a "For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 1:18a "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men..."
Nothing you can do can save you.
Romans 3:20a "Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh shall be justified in His sight..." Romans 3:27 "Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of what works? No, but by the law of faith."
God's love has made a way!
Romans 5:8-9 "But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."
You must place your complete faith in Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:22 "Even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe for there is no difference:"
Romans 10:9 "That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from" the dead, you shall be saved.
Romans 3:28 "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law."
If you really believe that Jesus Christ alone can save you...
Romans 4:21 "And being fully convinced that what He had promised He will also perform."
...then pray and ask Him.
Romans 10:13 "For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 10:11 "For the Scriptures says, Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."
