Let Christ be hanged! – Thomas Brooks

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!
