The Great Exchange

Tom Shrader walks through Mark 15:1-15, explaining the false charges brought against Jesus, Pilate's inability to find Him guilty, and the crowd's demand to release Barabbas in His place. The Barabbas exchange serves as a vivid picture of substitutionary atonement — an innocent Jesus taking the place of a guilty man — set against the backdrop of Passover and its imagery of the Lamb of God. Shrader anchors the passage in the question Pilate asks in verse 12, pressing listeners to consider their own answer to what they will do with Jesus. “Christ dies unjustly, but just like He took Barabbas' place, the symbolism is so rich — the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, right at the time that they're celebrating the Passover, in the middle of this, Jesus comes and there's the fulfillment of it.” — Tom Shrader Series: Standalone Teachings Recorded in 2015 Duration: 39 min Themes: substitution, sacrifice, forgiveness, guilt, innocence, passover, the cross, who is jesus, searching for faith, new believer, questioning christianity, feeling unworthy, carrying guilt, skeptic, seeker, young adult Topics: substitutionary atonement, atonement, lamb of god, imputation, propitiation, gospel of mark, passion narrative, justification Scripture: Mark 15:1-15, Mark 10:45, Acts 12, John 18:31 — About Priority Living AZ — Priority Living AZ preserves the teaching legacy of Tom Shrader.
