Judas Iscariot-the One who betrayed Christ

Hey peeps!!!

There are so many people out there in the Bible to study and learn from. There is Jesus's 12 disciples, Joseph, Daniel, David and others. However, there is one person that I would like to discuss. To me, he is one of the most intriguing person ever. His name is Judas Iscariot. Why do I want to talk about this character? Well, I could'nt help wondering but why a disciple of Christ, one who followed Christ during the few years would end up betraying Him?

When my dad was preaching on this, the answer became clear. Judas never truly beleved in Jesus Christ. Rather, he was a sinner and had always been. He was not a true follower of Christ. John 6:70-71.

3 things to take away from this post:
-Life must not be driven away by greed
-Must not give in to Satan
-Be responsible for your own actions

This message is bases mainly on John 13:21-27. Judas had the wrong heart. He was a thief. John 12:3-6. Judas took money that did not belong to him. This is greed and it's a sin.

Satan entered into Judas the night Jesus was betrayed. This is very scary. Can you imagine the devil controlling your thoughts and movement and you are powerless? Be aware of your sins. Continually ask God to forgive you or those sins can destroy us first because we have allowed satan to take hold of our lives.

Don't be influence by false doctrines and porn and etc.Judas became a tool for satan. For those who are God's children, we are given to God and not Satan- " Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world"
Submit yourself therefore to God, Resist the Devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7.

It's better to be on the right side with few friends than be on the wrong side with many friends. Choose your friends wisely. Friends can bring you up or down. Some friends are not worth having. Best friend to have is Jesus.

Be a good Christian witness for the Lord. Luke 22:1-6. We have to be responsible for our own actions. Luke 22:21-22. Acts 2:22-23. Judas had to be responsible for his actions. Sin of betrayal is not acceptable.

Matt 27: 3-5. Judas did feel responsible. He felt remorseful but his repentence was not true. Why? He hanged himself! Repentence should be unto life and not death. This is unlike Peter. Peter is another disciple of Christ. He denied Christ 3 times but he did repent and went on serving Christ after that. Peter had faith and repentence. All these go together.

                             ll Cor 7:10. Look to God for deliverance of sin. You can have hope.

In Christ, grace abounds. Don't sorrow and be miserable unto death dued to sin. Repent unto Salvation.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. John 17:12. Judas is known as the son of the lost. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ll Thess 2:3. Judas was a type of anti-Christ.

NOTE: Never push the Grace of God too far or you'll become a tool for Satan. 

To end off(Yes... I am sorry it is so long), God's Sovereign Will never takes the free will of man. We are what we are based on the decisions we make. So, choose wisely and live your christian life well:). A life lived for God is never in vain!
