Three men on three crosses

Loading player...
On what we think was Friday April 3, 33 A.D., there were three men sentenced to death by Rome, condemned to die by what they called the extreme penalty: death by crucifixion. We don't know the names of two of the men; we only know them by the description given of them: criminals. We know the name of one of the men sentenced to die: Barabbas. The story of what happened to those three men on that day is a fascinating historical tale in itself. But it is more than that. Because each of these three men had some kind of encounter with Jesus of Nazareth that day. Each one responded differently. Each one gives us a response to Jesus.
