    Did Judas betray Jesus or merely carry out what Jesus and God already knew must be done. A pawn in a greater plan. Judas’s mistake might be thinking it was his own decision and believing that.

    • God gave us free will. He worked His plan around our choices. True, He knew from the beginning of time what we would choose. The argument then typically is that it’s Gods fault. To that, the biblical response is, only God is God, His plans are good and loving only, and He know a lot more than us, so trust Him anyway. It may look one way to you, but it might not be that way. Most people think Judas went to hell. I say, he repented and its God’s to judge

  2. I’ve always struggled somewhat with the story of Judas. There are some passages I come across that suggest he was preordained to betray Jesus—and that thought has always disturbed me. When I read those passages, it just seems as if there was nothing else he could’ve done. The prophecy needed to be fulfilled, and Judas had simply been chosen to fulfill it—and to bear the eternal consequences of his pre-determined fate. I like your interpretation better.

  3. As you know from reading my post “Evil is Seductive”, I was one of those you refer to who judged himself, and passed sentence on himself. I am eternally grateful that God’s light shined through the darkness in the end, allowing me to see what I must do in order to not hand the final victory over to Satan.

    Thanks for reading, and thank you more for leading me to what you have written here.

  4. Ok first, you need to edit this and add #suicide. While my spiritual beliefs are all over the place, I know several people who could relate to it. Your explanation of this topic and the interpretation of the Bible was amazing. People need to also realize that their judgment is not for them to make. Whatever happens after death, I know I will be ok because the only person I have to answer to is my higher power and while alive, I have myself to answer to. Making the decisions, I have to accept that whatever happens next, I am the one who has to look at myself in the mirror and be able to sleep at night with a clear conscious

  5. Great message to forgive yourself and trust. I never knew that is what happened to Judas in the end. In grief and guilt we can sometimes be ridden with toxic thoughts and as you pointed out need to turn to those supportive of us and dismiss the toxic people. Have faith. Great post.
