The Great Exchange - John 19 pt.1

The account of Barabbas and Jesus invites us into a deeper understanding of the cross and the great exchange that takes place there, as the weight and penalty of sin are lifted from us through the sacrificial, substitutionary death of Christ. Penal substitutionary atonement teaches us that God’s justice and love are not contradictory; rather, they are perfectly reconciled in the person and work of Christ, as our sins are poured out on him and, by faith, his righteousness is credited to us. This Gospel truth is meant to transform your heart and change your life.
