about us

THE NAME:
Barabbas was the first man to ever be able to look at the cross and say: “that should be me up there.” His name literally means “son of the father,” and he is a perfect representation of fallen humanity.

THE SCRIPTURE:
“And Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him. “No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him. “I will therefore punish Him and release Him.” [Now he was obliged to release to them at the feast one prisoner.] But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this man, and release for us Barabbas!” (He was one who had been thrown into prison for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder.) And Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again, but they kept on calling out, saying, “Crucify, crucify Him!” And he said to them the third time, “Why, what evil has this man done? I have found in Him no guilt demanding death; I will therefore punish Him and release Him.” But they were insistent, with loud voices asking that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail. And Pilate pronounced sentence that their demand should be granted. And he released the man they were asking for who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, but he delivered Jesus to their will.”
(Luke 23:13-25 NASB)

WHAT THIS MEANS:
First of all let it be observed that Jesus was accused, and found innocent of the very crime that Barabbas was guilty of; inciting a riot (in Barabbas’ case this included murder). Barabbas, the guilty man, was set free because Jesus, the innocent Man, took his place; literally Christ took his place on the cross. The same is true for every man, woman and child today. They walk the Barabbas road because Jesus took their place on the cross. They, like Barabbas have been offered the free gift of eternal life. We are trying to reach La Jolla and all of San Diego, with the message that they walk the Barabbas road and can be set free from their sin, have eternal life and a relationship with the Creator of the universe through faith in the substitutionary work of Christ on the cross. I am a person set free from my sins because Jesus took my place. My name is Matt Smith and I am Barabbas. We invite all to come out and see men, women and children that have been set free because of Jesus. We are the body of Christ. We are Barabbas and we invite you to join us.
