"$ouled OUT too Quickly!"
Everytime I read about the "Last Supper", I see something that reminds me of the extreme price Jesus PAID for my Salvation, yet HE was SOLD OUT by Judas, 1 of HIS own disciples, due to the fact that Judas was greedy and selfish, but more importantly out of his ignorance to the TRUTH of the Wealth and Riches that are in Christ Jesus.
Maybe the Apostle Paul remembered hearing of this account from one of those who were present at the time Judas left so quickly.
Judas WAS obedient though, because we know that Jesus DID SAY,
Leaving that for a moment, I want to go forward to what the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy in
It was because Judas was greedy, that he sold my Lord and Savior for a measly 30 peices of silver, WHEN he could have held out for MORE, not from the jealous priests and religous leaders, but could have believed for the Riches and Wealth of Eternal Life, yet he was selfish and desired to gain earthly wealth QUICKLY and with little or no sacrifice, except he DID in a sense lend a hand in God's plan for man's Redemption, but that's a topic for another day!
The account of Judas, and his betrayal Jesus, remembering also that Ananias and Saphira sought to gain wealth, QUICKLY,,, from the pretense of helping the po-OR, well I am DO KNOW what happened there too, you see, the Apostle John KNEW from experience, a VALUABLE LESSON that he was taught, revealing what the heart of a greedy and selfish person actually seeks and desires above everything else, expecting to benefit from their claims of kNOwing the King of Kings!
Jesus spoke specifically to HIS Disciples, of the heart condition of the rich young man, which deeply saddened HIM,
WELL,,, Judas must have either
Not even after seeing all the miracles and signs that proved who Jesus was,,,,
