Pastor Jerry Laudermilk
In the message "Which Jesus?", Pastor Jerry looks at the crucifixion in a different but powerful way. Did you know that it seems that Barabbas too was named Jesus? We miss that in the KJV, but early manuscripts have the name "Jesus Barabbas", as do many of the literal translations. The New Cambrige Bible Dictionary says that, "Early church father Origen Adam-ant-ius (3rd Century) was troubled by the fact that his copies of the gospels gave Barabbas' name as "Jesus Barabbas" and declared that since it was impossible he could have had such a holy name, "Jesus" must have been added to Barabbas' name by a heretic. Yet with this understanding, we gain a picture of the crucifixion that we miss otherwise. Pilate asked the Jews if they wanted him to release Jesus Barabbas or Jesus The Christ. They chose Barabbas. Barabbas means "Son of the Father" and Christ means "Anointed One". Both names carried the promise of salvation... (But there was and is only one Savior!) Both titles carried the a claim of authority... (But only one walked 'in' God given authority). Now my question to you... Is Which Jesus do YOU Choose?Have you chosen the Jesus Christ the only begotten son of the Living God as your messiah?
