Barabbas; "Have you any room for Jesus?"

The sermon centres on the profound question, 'Have you any room for Jesus?', drawing from Matthew 27's account of Christ's trial before Pilate, where multiple figures—religious leaders, Pilate, and the crowd—demonstrate a complete refusal to make space for Christ in their hearts. It exposes the spiritual danger of religious formalism, pride, and the fear of man, illustrating how even those who recognize Christ's innocence still reject Him due to envy, self-interest, or public pressure. The preacher emphasises that salvation is not earned through human effort or religious ritual, but received by faith in Christ alone, who bore the penalty for sin. The message culminates in a personal, urgent appeal: every individual must confront their own heart and decide whether to welcome Christ or remain in the self-sufficient emptiness of a life without Him, with eternal consequences hanging in the balance.
