Barabbas

Here is an interesting question that a preacher friend of mine put out to us in one of his sermons.


WHAT IS BARABBAS'S LAST NAME?

[Guest Guest]

Cann't find the answer straight out in my Bible. I'm going to try with the information I do have,ok? If "BAR" is "son of," means "does BARABBAS means "son of the father" because ABBA is an affectionate term used even today used by children for their fathers or "daddys" So since Jesus is the Christ would that mean BARABBAS repesented the complete - opposite so in turn his full name would be---BARABBA"S ANTI-CHRIST. Am I close? Trying to serve the LORD Jesus Christ --pixiedust

you are digging a little TOO deep there. Try something a little more life practical

Barabbas was his last name. Many think his first name was "Jesus." That we don't know, but his "last name" was Barabbas.

[Germany4Christ]

Not really what I had in mind. Think of LIFE practical.

[trc123]

Whether you had it in mind or not, his last name was "Barabbas."

Ok but I'm going somewhere with this. This preacher taught me something I'll never forget and preached a whole message off of it and I kinda want to share it

[Guest Guest]

Is it "son of his father/dady"!!! Please share! In English ok?

Brother McFadden told us that whenever we read the story of Barabbas to put YOUR OWN name.
Example: Barabbas Middlebrooks, Barabbas McFadden etc. It helps us keep in mine that jesus took OUR place not just someones

Now that is something I'll never forget! Unfortunately I need to be reminded a great deal. Thank you for sharing!-pixiedust
