BarAbbas Was A Prophetic Representation Of Man’s Fallen Sin Nature – Lawal Suleman

In Judgement, the Lord Jesus was found innocent, yet the people demanded His death. It was the preparation for the sabbath and Passover( Prophetically speaking, the Passover is going to release us into a new sabbath- REST). The Jews had a custom that allowed/required pilate to release a prisoner on that day. He intended on releasing Jesus, but the people protested, saying ‘BarAbbas should be released INSTEAD.’

BarAbbas was said to be both a murderer and a thief- he was a prophetic representation of mans fallen sin nature, and Jesus dying as our substitute.

The word BarAbbas comes from two words translated from the Aramaic- Bar(meaning Son) and Abba( meaning Father), or literally, Son of the father. This is soo prophetic, the Passover(the crucifixion of Jesus) would release Sons of the father. We became sons of God by the crucifixion of Jesus our Lord.
Glory, hallelujah!!!
