Who Was Barabbas? Was He A Robber?

Who Was Barabbas? Was He A Robber?

During the Holy Week, you might have seen a meme or two on social media mentioning how during the time of Jesus, the people chose Barabbas the thief over the Savior. This is then followed by a remark saying something along the lines of "2000 years later, we still choose the robbers." These memes are a bit old already but it might be popping up again since (1) it was Holy Week and (2) it's election season here in the Philippines. In this episode, Mon talks about Barabbas. What do we know about him? Was he really a thief? What does his story signify? Mon also points out a concern that he has with people sharing these kinds of posts. He exhorts that it is our politics that should serve our faith instead of the other way around.
