Barabus 2

I know that it is not possible, but if I were given an audience with Barabbus, I can imagine that he would say the following: You wonder if I became a Christian You think that I may have been killed in my continued pursuit of revolution As with everyone else, I will give account for the choices that I made. So, take me now as you found me in the Biblical record--a pardon criminal. Please. Neither idolize nor condemn me. I disappeared in the dark night of silence. Whether or not I ascended into the light of God or descended further into my revolutionary causes, for now, that matter will remain a mystery. Nevertheless, this much is certain: Neither history nor tradition. can unvell what God has hidden.
