Barabbas

He is the man whose freedom was bought by the blood of the Innocent—a revolutionary and a thief who stood at the center of the world’s most significant exchange. When the crowd shouted for his release, he became the living symbol of the Divine Mercy that chooses the guilty over the guiltless. He represents the terrifying mystery of human preference; the one who walked out of the prison cell while the Light of the World walked toward the Cross. He is every soul that has been spared a debt it could never pay.
