2 | Why did Judas betray Jesus? | Matt 26:15 | KBurgee | 3909 | ||
Judas was a greedy person even before he joined the disciples. He was the only one that Jesus called a devil (John 6:70) and was stealing money from them during their time together (John 12: 4-6). He sold out Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, a lot of money back in the day. The Bible says that Satan entered him (Luke 22:3, John 13:27) and his greed overtook him. There is also belief that Judas was increasingly frustrated with Jesus' unwillingness to be crowned king. Even with all the miracles, even with living side by side with a man who has all power, it still wasn't enough. The great thing about all of this tho, is that if Judas did not betray Jesus, then Jesus would not have died and risen, and the prophecy would not have been fulfilled. We would have still been somewhat separate from God, as the veil symbolized before it was torn from the top down (Matthew 27:51); top down as to show that God has ripped our separation from Him from His side. Another way to see that God is in control. Coincidence? What's that? | ||||||

To add to this, I believe Judas wanted Christ to do things like Judas wanted Him to do. He was not satisfied with the way Jesus did things. I wonder how many times I have been wrong and felt that way. | ||||||
