The closure of the biblical canon in 405 by Jerome and the importance of recognizing the divine inspiration of the 66 books are highlighted.

Through the example of Barabbas, who was released instead of Jesus, the sermon explores the profound irony of Jesus dying for the sins He preached against, highlighting the sacrificial nature of His death.
