SUMMARY:The Betrayal
DESCRIPTION:Mark 14: 10\, 11 And Judas Iscariot\, one of the twelve\, went unto the chief priests\, to betray him unto them. And when they heard [it]\, they were glad\, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him. \nToday\, if any person is found guilty of a crime\, the person’s identity must first be confirmed\, and the crime must then be proved beyond a doubt. If it is a murder\, then not just the body and weapon need to be produced as evidence\, but even the intention needs to be produced for a clear judgment. \nIn the Roman era and the medieval era\, this was not the approach. To identify a person\, any person who can confirm the person’s identity is sufficient. Coming to the crime\, the prosecution does not need to prove the accusation; instead\, the accused needs to prove one’s innocence. \nIn the case of Jesus\, there were many accusers for various so-called crimes\, but they lacked someone who could step forward to identify Him. The Jewish accusers\, that is\, the Priests and clergy\, found this person in Judas. Judas was close to Jesus and followed Him wherever He went. Judas even performed miracles like others. But for Judas\, there came a point where money took a greater priority. This did not happen overnight\, but gradually happened over a long period. It started with him opting to be the finance manager of Jesus’ ministry; he held the purse. \nMy personal thoughts are that Judas was the son of Simon the Leper from Bethany (who was healed of leprosy). The events of betrayal were closed there\, and the freely outspokenness of Judas in that house\, which we did not see happening with him anywhere else. We also see that he is introduced in John not once but 4 times as the son of Simon. \nJudas had seen the favour of God and also experienced the glory of God\, yet greed kept him in darkness. He became the Pharaoh who also glorified God\, unlike the way Moses did. He also fulfilled the scriptures\, but the negative part. His end was pure destruction. \nIt is sad when Men of God who have experienced the favour of God and seen/been instruments of the glory of God\, due to greed\, become Judas. They do not accuse God of evil\, but in their evil\, they identify God as their Lord. Their end\, too\, like Judas’\, is pure destruction. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You are a Holy God. You are Perfect in every way. You are Light\, and there is no darkness in You. We pray\, Lord\, we do not take You for granted and let darkness anchor itself in us. We pray we diligently discern our words\, our actions and above all our intentions\, as we discern of those with us… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nJohn 6:71 He spake of Judas Iscariot [the son] of Simon: for he it was that should betray him\, being one of the twelve. \nJohn 12:4 Then saith one of his disciples\, Judas Iscariot\, Simon s [son]\, which should betray him\, \nJohn 13:2 And supper being ended\, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot\, Simon s [son]\, to betray him; \nJohn 13:26 Jesus answered\, He it is\, to whom I shall give a sop\, when I have dipped [it]. And when he had dipped the sop\, he gave [it] to Judas Iscariot\, [the son] of Simon. \nMatthew 26:\n6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany\, in the house of Simon the leper\,\n7 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment\, and poured it on his head\, as he sat [at meat].\n8 But when his disciples saw [it]\, they had indignation\, saying\, To what purpose [is] this waste?\n14 Then one of the twelve\, called Judas Iscariot\, went unto the chief priests\, \nRomans 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh\, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up\, that I might shew my power in thee\, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. \nDated 07 April 2026\nBro Rollwyn
