By Francis Van Uden I really like this meme because I think it shows how the situation of Jesus being condemned to death was. The Pharisees were asked who they wanted to free: Jesus, who seemed innocent, or Barab’bas who was a horrible man. They chose to condemn Jesus, but why? Many people, including the high priests, felt threatened by Jesus’ accusations that He was Lord. The pride they had in themselves blinded them to be open to the fact that Jesus may be speaking the truth. But even if Jesus was lying, what harm was he doing? People chose to believe in him by choice, and that was clear, but many people during Jesus’ time couldn’t get over themselves and be humble and loving as Jesus commanded. We are also called to be open listeners to others, because it is easy for us to get caught up in ourselves too.
