Subject: Why did Jesus encourage to betray? |
Bible Note: Hi, Kalos! Again, Faraoh was made blind to God's Power... this did not happen because he was a greater sinner than any of the other pagan kings... this happened because he happened to be the king enslaving Israel at the appointed time of God's deliverance! In the same manner, Judas was Jesus' betrayer not because he had the greatest and deepest sins in Israel, but simply because he was destined by God to initiate Jesus' crucifixion... Many choose to believe that Judas had complete control in what he did or that there was no need for him to betray Jesus because the high priest and the others would eventually manage to "get" Jesus... God's Plan does not count on man's intercession... it is the other way around: God intercedes in order that His Divine Plan comes to terms! Scriptures are beautiful when used properly, closing salvation on Judas is not a factor of Scripture for Jesus was clear that only one sin would not be forgiven of man and He asked the Father to forgive those who would crucify Him!
