class=\"\"><strong>Judas Iscariot<\/strong>, one of the Twelve<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>The chief priests<\/strong>, seeking to kill Jesus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>The officers

has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-happened-in-the-scene\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Happened in the Scene<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luke begins by noting that the Feast of Unleavened Bread, also called the Passover, is approaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This detail is deeply significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Passover commemorates God\u2019s deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt through the sacrifice of a spotless lamb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon, Jesus Himself will become the true Passover Lamb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes are looking for a way to eliminate Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet they face a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The people admire Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An open arrest could provoke unrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They need an opportunity to seize Him quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then Luke records one of the saddest sentences in all of Scripture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judas goes to the religious leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He discusses how he can betray Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are delighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Money is promised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An agreement is made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From that moment forward, Judas begins searching for the right opportunity to hand Jesus over when no crowd is present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The betrayal has begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-deep-theology-of-judas\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Deep Theology of Judas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most difficult questions in Scripture concerns Judas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How could someone who spent years with Jesus betray Him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judas heard every sermon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He witnessed countless miracles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He traveled with the disciples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he even participated in ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet outward proximity to Jesus never became inward transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This reminds us of an important truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Religious activity is not the same as saving faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person may know about Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serve in ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participate in church life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And still never surrender the heart to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judas serves as one of Scripture\u2019s strongest warnings against confusing external association with genuine discipleship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-satan-entered-into-judas\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cSatan Entered Into Judas\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luke\u2019s statement raises another important theological question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Was Judas merely a victim?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answer is no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scripture consistently presents two truths simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Satan actively influences events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Human beings remain morally responsible for their choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luke does not portray Judas as an unwilling puppet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the Gospels, Judas has already demonstrated patterns of greed and unbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His heart has gradually moved away from Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Satan enters a life already open to rebellion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The betrayal is therefore both spiritual warfare and human responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bible consistently teaches both realities without contradiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-sovereignty-of-god\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Sovereignty of God<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the greatest comfort in this passage is that none of these events surprise God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long before Judas was born:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">The prophets foretold the Messiah\u2019s betrayal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">The Passover anticipated Christ\u2019s sacrifice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Psalm 41 spoke of a close companion lifting his heel against God\u2019s Anointed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Zechariah foretold the betrayal price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Human beings freely commit evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet God sovereignly accomplishes redemption through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This does not excuse Judas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nor does it diminish human responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, it magnifies God\u2019s wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The greatest act of human wickedness becomes the means of humanity\u2019s greatest salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only God could accomplish such a purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-the-passover-matters\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why the Passover Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luke deliberately connects Judas\u2019 betrayal with Passover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is no coincidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For nearly fifteen centuries, Israel had celebrated the deliverance from Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every sacrificed lamb pointed forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every Passover meal anticipated something greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the true Lamb has arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as the original Passover lamb died so others might live, <strong>Jesus will soon offer Himself for the sins of the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judas unknowingly helps move God\u2019s redemptive plan toward its appointed fulfillment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-slow-drift-of-the-heart\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Slow Drift of the Heart<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One lesson from Judas deserves careful attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very few people abandon faith in a single moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heart usually drifts gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small compromises become larger ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secret sins become settled patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love for Christ slowly gives way to love for something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Judas\u2019 case, Scripture repeatedly hints that greed played a significant role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Money gradually became more valuable to him than the Master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The betrayal did not begin in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It began long before, within the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-a-stark-contrast\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Stark Contrast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice the contrast Luke has been building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The widow gave everything she had to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judas sells the Son of God for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The widow trusted completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judas betrayed completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One quiet act of worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One secret act of treachery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both occur during the same week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
