One of the ironies of human nature is that it often has a way of
rejecting the best and accepting the worst.
Why did the crowd ask for the release of Barabbas and the crucifixion
of Jesus?
The answer is in the biblical statement, “The heart is deceitful above
all things, and desperately wicked.”
Jesus is just as divine today and just as much alive as He was on that
first Good Friday.
Yet millions today don’t accept Him.
His goodness is still a rebuke to our badness; His purity still shows
up our impurities; His sinless life still reveals our sinfulness; and unless we
allow Him to destroy the evil within us, the evil within us still wants to
destroy Him. This is the conflict of the ages.
Dr. Billy Graham
