About this listen

In the busy city of Jerusalem, two men’s lives are about to cross in a way that will change the world forever.

One is Barabbas, a dangerous rebel and murderer, locked away in a dark prison, waiting for his death. The other is Jesus, a gentle King whose power is shown not with a sword, but with love, healing the sick and feeding the hungry.

During the special feast of Passover, the crowd is given a choice: which man should be set free? Their decision, and the incredible sacrifice that follows, reveals the story of the greatest love of all—the story of the King who willingly took the place of a guilty man so that we could all be set free. Journey through this powerful tale of anger and love, darkness and light, and discover the true meaning of a King’s sacrifice.
