the man in the middle: "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom". "Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise" was the astonishing answer of the man in the middle! Barabbas went weak at the knees. It was too much all at once. He couldn't understand everything that was happening, but he knew one thing: "Someone innocent is dying in my place, someone who doesnt deserve to die. For me!" He threw himself on the ground and cried, as he had done so often in the past few days. But this time not out of anger or despair, but out of sadness and gratitude towards the one who was executed in his place ... This is roughly how I imagine Barabbas' impressions. He may also have laughed scornfully at the man in the middle who behaved so differently from himself, did not rebel or covet.

The Bible is silent about what happened to Barabbas. But the story of the murderer Barabbas is basically the story of many who encountered Jesus. Have you ever stood in front of this cross one day in your life, in your thoughts? In such a moment, we realize how terrible our lives are in the eyes of God and what love the man in the middle must have had to die for a lying, depraved and godless guy like me!
