DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks warns against the dangers of being captivated by worldly
desires, leading individuals to prefer Barabbas over Jesus. He
illustrates how people, influenced by the world, may betray and condemn
Christ, echoing the cries of those who demanded His crucifixion. Brooks
emphasizes the grave consequences of such choices, likening those who
reject Christ for worldly gain to 'incarnate devils.' The sermon serves
as a stark reminder of the spiritual peril of prioritizing earthly
pleasures over divine truth.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Men bewitched with the world will prefer a Barabbas before

a Jesus. They will with Judas betray Christ, and with Pilate

condemn Christ, and with the Scribes and Pharisees they

will cry out, "Crucify him! crucify him! Away with this Jesus!

Away with this Jesus! Let Barabbas live--but let Jesus die!

Let Barabbas be saved--but let Christ be hanged!"

Ah, what incarnate devils will such men prove, who are

bewitched with this world!
