We all have a Judas

People who are greedy fall into temptation and get trapped into many foolish and harmful desires that cause them destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, are so money hungry they have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."  James 1:14-15 states "But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death"

This was Judas in the life of Christ who sold him out for a mere 30 pieces of silver. Back then that was the price paid for a slave. Yes, the SAVIOR of humanity sold for the bare minimum.  Wow.

We all have a Judas in our life and some of us know who it is. What sets our Lord apart from the rest of us is He did not react to people, He related to them! Jesus knew all along the character of Judas Iscariot. He knew this man intended to betray Him; He knew he was stealing from the money bag; He knew of his lack of dedication and love. But Jesus never wavered in His love for this wayward disciple. In displaying mercy and compassion, He gave Judas what he needed rather than what he deserved. It is so easy to simply react to people, especially when they hurt or wrong us. The challenge is to love them in spite of and let God handle the rest. You see, later that Judas was so distressed over the outcome of his actions that he gave the money away "hanged himself." Acts 1:18 states "falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out."

The cost of his burial was covered by the very same 30 pieces of silver he had previously taken as his price selling out Jesus. "Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, 'Amen'" [Deut. 27:25].


Blessings, Lady Monica

Yes, God knows what we are going through and HE knows how to confirm to us that HE is yet in control. HE always watches out for HIS children. Touch not HIS anointed and do HIS prophets no harm. I love you sis.

This is true. We all have a Judas and for some of us we have more than one. The thing is Judas didn't live long. If you don't know who you're Judas is time will reveal. If our Lord and Saviour had a Judas, we are not exempted. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death. Philippians 3:10
