He could have made a series of better choices of course, but God does not cause or desire for us to sin... believer, or not. However, He does know the outcome of all our moments and in this case went through a lot of trouble to prophecy about them extensively.<br /><br />There is that uncomfortable lesson to be learned with Judas, of course. Just like with David and Bathsheba and countless other scenarios in Scripture that serve as both warnings and (more importantly) illustrations of the many hued facets of God's nature. And I am grateful to have them.<br /><br />Or that's just one girls opinion :)imladrisninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539020345110843066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389073715517542581.post-86323749887591920202011-04-24T17:34:03.388-06:002011-04-24T17:34:03.388-06:00WOW!

Thank you for sharing your heart, and making me realize mine is more "Judas-Like" than I want to admit.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11035081420220097084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389073715517542581.post-34248278894297207202011-04-24T15:20:16.263-06:002011-04-24T15:20:16.263-06:00I have often contemplated Judas as well.

But my thoughts have always gone to, "How can Jesus still love him and accept him as one of his disciples when he knows that Judas is going to betray him?" That's the power of Jesus though. He died for Judas, and us, despite our behavior! What a Savior!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17364750069022113897noreply@blogger.com
