Judas, The Ultimate Traitor

Sitting at the Passover meal with His disciples, Judas knew exactly what he was about to do and so did Jesus.

That same night just after Jesus' agonizing prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, Judas led a huge mob to capture Him. Some of them carried swards, some staves, and some clubs. Why such a large mob to arrest one man?

Judas had been with Jesus long enough to know what kind of power He had. Didn't he also know that Jesus could've called ten thousand angels to slew the lot of them? They didn't capture Jesus, He went willingly. 

The traitor identified Christ with a kiss. How appalling! And Jesus even called him "friend".  Later Judas returned the blood money and then killed himself.

You can sit in a pew week after week and be accepted into the fellowship, but if you have not been born again -- accepted Jesus as your personal Savour -- you will not go to heaven no matter how good you are.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

When you stand before God, He will not ask what you did, but what you did with His son.
