—Mark 15:11-15

The same crowd that shouted for Barabbas to be released wanted Jesus put to death. It is so easy for us to see the error of the crowd's ways. We wonder at their thinking. The very people who were looking for the Messiah rejected him. It seems that Christ's identity should have been clear to them as they were waiting for the Messiah. The same is often true today. People grow up in church and learn all about Christ and his teachings. Unfortunately, sometimes those are the very people who miss the truth about who Christ really is. As we share Christ's teachings and "teach church," we need to be sure that we don't just teach about him. We need to be bringing people to him so they can know him for who he is-Messiah, Savior, and Lord!
