Subject: Do you forgive Judas? |
Bible Note: Part 2:I do know that Judas realized that he had betrayed innocent blood . The chielf priests and elders said, "What is that to us? SEE TO THAT YOURSELF!" And he hung himself I believe in depression. Matthew 27:24b, Pilate said, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; SEE TO THAT YOURSELVES". And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children!" That is quite a different attitude. We also have to decide FOR OURSELVES if this man is the Son of Man and the Son of God or not. We too can betray our Lord if we don't know Him. Let us not be too quick to judge, for as you judge so too you will be judged. Acts 5:28, after Peter and the apostles were brought before the Council , "the high priest questioned them, saying, 'We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's [Man's, NKJ] blood upon us." Woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! Matthew 26:24. But a literal reading of the last of the verse allows for the inclusion of us. "It would have been good for him if that man had not been born." My hope is that everyone knows Him as the King of the Jews and the only true God. Jesus died for the nation, John 11:52, "and not for the nation only, but that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad." From the heart, Ray |
