The Man in the Middle

There was a mountain and there were three trees There was a good man and there were two thieves A man called Barabbas was doomed for the tree But Jesus took the middle one and Barabbas went free. I love that man in the middle Because I know He first loved me Praise God to that man who died on Mount Calvary The middle man made it possible that I could go free.

The Man in the Middle  Jesus was the man in the middle Phil 2:5-8; Heb 2:9, 14-17

The Man in the Middle  Barabbas should have been the man in the middle Lk 23:13-25 The innocent man went into the middle instead of the guilty.

The Man in the Middle  There was a good man and there were two thieves Lk 23:33: two criminals (Mt, Mk, Jn specify thieves) How good? = sinless Jn 8:46; 1 Jn 3:5; Heb 4:15 A perfect man died a criminal’s death between two criminals Isa 53:9; Gal 3:13; Heb 12:2; 1 Cor 1:18, Even one of the thieves recognized the man in the middle should not be there Lk 23:39-43

The Man in the Middle  Love prompted the man to be in the middle; such love prompts me to love Him 1 Jn 4:19; 1 Jn 3:16; Jn 15:13-14; 14:15; 2 Cor 5:14-15

The Man in the Middle  What the middle man accomplished- He died to make it possible that I could go free I praise Him Rom 6:23; Rev 21:8; Isa 53:4-6; 1 Pet 1:18-19; 2 Cor 5:19-21 In a very real sense, Barabbas represents me- I deserved to be the man in the middle, destined not just for execution, but for hell, but Jesus took my place and God released me.

The Man in the Middle There was a mountain and there were three trees There was a good man and there were two thieves A man called Barabbas was doomed for the tree But Jesus took the middle one and Barabbas went free. I love that man in the middle Because I know He first loved me Praise God to that man who died on Mount Calvary The middle man made it possible that I could go free.
