AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 1:25 to occupy this ministry and apostleship which Judas left to go to his own place [of evil]." |
Subject: Judas - betrayer not savior |
Bible Note: What Pharoah did ultimately served the purpose of God in freeing Israel from Egyptian bondage. But to say that Pharoah went to heaven as a reward for his cruelty to the Hebrews would be contrary to our knowledge of Scripture. Does anyone think that the people of Israel ever thanked God for Pharoah? Moses, not Pharoah, was the prophesied deliverer. The Lord Jesus Christ -- not Judas -- fulfilled what had to be done for our salvation. Jesus, not Judas, is our Savior. Jesus, not Judas, went to heaven. When Judas betrayed Christ, Judas did nothing to contribute to our salvation. Christ, not Judas, gave his life for our salvation. Thus, Judas in no way fulfilled what had to be done for our salvation. |
