The Man Who Walked Free

About this message

In this powerful message, Kim unpacks the story of Barabbas - a man who was undeniably guilty: a notorious murderer, robber and rebel who was imprisoned awaiting execution - and shows how Jesus, the only innocent man in that situation, willingly chose to take his place on the cross so that this guilty man could walk free, revealing the heart of the gospel and God’s grace that none of us deserve. Through his own testimony of believing for years that he would die young until he encountered God’s presence in Psalm 23 (“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me”), Kim shows how we are all like Barabbas - guilty, unworthy, yet receiving unmerited favour - because Jesus has paid our debt, taken our punishment and purchased our freedom through His blood. As you listen, hear Kim’s challenge: don’t let familiarity dull the magnitude of what Jesus has done; remember that you stand in freedom today not because you’ve earned it or deserved it, but because an innocent man took your place and willingly laid down His life so that you could walk free and live in the abundance He offers.
