The Innocent for the Guilty
Day 3: The Innocent for the Guilty Reading: Matthew 27:15-26, Romans 5:6-8
Devotional: The exchange of Jesus for Barabbas is a powerful picture of substitutionary atonement. An innocent man took the place of a guilty one, foreshadowing how Christ would take our place on the cross. This incredible act of love and sacrifice is at the heart of the gospel. Take time today to meditate on the personal implications of this truth. How does knowing that Jesus willingly took your place affect your view of yourself and your relationship with God? Consider writing a prayer of gratitude for this undeserved gift of grace, and reflect on how you can live in response to such love.
