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.
