More than two thousand years ago, there were two other men. One was named Jesus, the other Barabbas. Jesus was a representation of all that is good and righteous, Barabbas a notorious and despicable criminal. A crowd was given a choice by their governor, Pilate, on which one would be spared from execution. The crowd unanimously chose Barabbas, self-righteously proclaiming that they wanted Jesus’ blood on them. Barabbas was released to the crowd and they watched Jesus be flogged and crucified.

Really good article Jesse Peterson...Kudos to you!

People naturally choose Barrabas. Is anyone surprised by this?

Sounds a lot like what we will be doing here in California in a few weeks, Cruz/Arnold versus Tom. I don't have to tell you who is who, its obvious, which proves my point.

Thank you, Rev. Peterson, for saying this. It needs to be said, even though most of us couldn't have gotten away with saying it.

She said of Bill Clinton: “he’s very genuine when he’s talking to people.”

Yeh, well so is the guy that sold you that car owned by a little old lady, who only drove it around the block. What that one didn't tell you was that the little old lady, was THE Little Old Lady from Pasedena. :) Only Clinton doesn't even allow that much of the truth to seep in.

I saw Justice Thomas give a presentation to a high school in the D.C. area (I believe it was on C-Span). It was a casual talk to a group of about 30-40 select students. An incredible story of his hard work and perserverence, and how his grandfather told him never to use prejudice as an excuse to do less than he was capable. He studied hours upon hours every weekday and on Saturday's, and received the highest grades in about every class he took at every level, including Graduate School (at I believe Harvard, but I may have that piece wrong).

Point was he told these young people that if they fall into the excuse lane, they will never reach their full potential and never fully use those talents with which they were graced by God. An incredible personal story and very motivating. One of those talks every schoolkid---Black, White, Hispanic, or whatever---should hear.
