Strange choice. [ Matthew 27 v15-26 ]

While travelling recently on holiday ,I saw a sign for Robin Hood airport, Robin was a robber, yet He is honoured by having an airport named after him. It is strange how the baddies are honoured, Jessie James, Billy the kid, Ned Kelly, they have become folk heroes. One of the saddest aspect of our Lords sham trial was , the choice the people made,Pilate who wanted to free Jesus gave them a choice. There was a custom that a prisoner could be set free at that time,so he put it to them Barabbas who was a murderer or Jesus, and amazingly they choose Barabbas. Because of sin our judgement can becomes so destorted that we make the most bizarre , and strangest of choices,especially when it comes to Jesus, we will choose, drink,money, and a multitude of things, rather than choose Him. The result of these wrong choices ,mulitudes are condemned to a lost eternity, such a poor choice. [ Dear God help people to make the right choice when it comes to Jesus, Amen ]
