Subject: Why did Jesus encourage to betray? |
Bible Note: Thanks Angel for great insights. Just a quick note to what you stated, "It was also appointed, in Scripture, that one of His own would betray Him (John 6:64, 70-71; 13:2, 10-11, 21-30; 17:12; 13:18; Acts 1:16-17, 20; Psalm 41:10, 55:12-14)... Judas, though one of the twelve, was chosen for the purpose of betraying His Master... just as Jesus did not reject His task (John 12:27; 3:14-15; Isaiah 52:13 thru 53:12), it was required that Judas betray Him in order for the fulfillment of the Scripture!" If this statement is valid, I think Judas had no choice but to play the role of betrayer. Some responded that Judas was given ample opportunity to reverse the course. If he did, that would have jeopardized His Devine plan, not? |
