Judas:
1. DISPLAYED THE WALK WITH JESUS.
Judas Had The Right Association. Matt. 10:2-4, 26:14
Judas Had The Right Education.
Judas Had The Right Reputation. John 12:6
Judas Had The Right Participation. Matt. 11:1
2. DEVELOPED THE WEDGE BETWEEN JESUS.
“Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. And
Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple
guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. They
were delighted and agreed to give him money. He consented, and
watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no
crowd was present.” Luke 22:3-6
3. DISREGARDED THE WARNING FROM JESUS.
“When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the
Twelve. And while they were eating, he said, ‘Truly I tell you, one
of you will betray me.’ They were very sad and began to say to
him one after the other, ‘Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?’ Jesus
replied, ‘The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me
will betray me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about
him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be
better for him if he had not been born.’ Then Judas, the one who
would betray him, said, ‘Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?’ Jesus
answered, ‘You have said so.’” Matt. 26:20-25
4. DISCARDED THE WELCOME BY JESUS.
“Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to
them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of
the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of
sins.’” Matthew 26:27-28
