We know precious little of the man called Barabbas, a contemporary of Jesus of Nazareth. He is variously described in the historical record as thief, murderer, rebel, and notable Roman prisoner. His release by the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate was part of the supernal plan for the Christ to offer himself as the ultimate blood sacrifice, but it’s doubtful Barabbas understood any of that at the time. Many have wondered what became of him, or rather, who he became after that fateful day. Someday we will know the answer, but in the meantime we can imagine that, like all of us, he too sought a path of personal redemption, imperfectly.

Barabbas literally watched Jesus take his place on the cross. It could easily have been him, and by legal rights it should've been him. In this imagining of the life of such an infamous figure, he knows the literal meaning of that exchange, but struggles to fully accept it on a spiritual level. His development comes across as realistic while he deals with his guilt and anger. I'm glad to have this book in my library and will return to it again as I need the reminder that Christ already paid the price. I don't need to punish myself over and over again for my errors. I need to repent and do better and that is all!
