"Judas Loved Jesus"
I know that's a controversial statement, but I really believe he did.
Judas loved Jesus..He just got caught up in greed, in lust, in his love for money.
Remember: It's the LOVE of money that's the root of all evil. 1 Tim 6:10 NIV
Remember the bible says: A man is drawn away by his own lustfully desires. James 1:14 KJV
It was his LOVE of money that caused Judas to do evil. It was his LUST for money that pulled him away from the GOD he worked for.
So to say that, Judas didn't love Jesus because of the issues he struggled with is UNFAIR.
Remember, these were issues that Jesus knew about and still he chose to keep him employed.
Saying Judas didn't love Jesus that would be like telling some married woman...Her husband doesn't love her, because of the things the marriage is going through right now and she's wrong for staying.
Whatever happened to withholding judgment? Whatever happened to just loving the person (apart from their issues)..In other words, love the person, but hate the sin.
Jesus knew that Judas had issues and would be the one to betray him, but still he chose to keep him employed.
Whatever happened to being willing to put in the work and work on forgiving that other person?
SOMEBODY: Stop listening to that person telling you what they would do, if they were you...HELLO, THEY ARE NOT YOU and nothing you choose to do will affect them.
Judas' s story ended tragically because the devil had entered and took over his mind and made him believe, he had done too much to be forgiven. Still, Judas just couldn't stand seeing all the pain he had caused Jesus. The bible says: He was seized with remorse and he tried to give back the money.
You see, when a person loves you and they come to their senses..They will try to make amends.
So, I can't say Judas didn't love Jesus...I think he did...He just had some issues and needed to be delivered.
But can you imagine being remorseful and feeling like there is no hope at the same time?
Matthew 27 John 13:18-30 NIV
Wow!!!
Until Next Sunday.
