GSW: All of them dipped their hands into the bowl to eat with him. Judas never believed in kingdom of Heaven, he joined Jesus because he believed they would do a physical insurrection and get rid of the romans. When Jesus didn’t do this, he decided Jesus was fake and sold him out. All of them were the same (Human). Human beings are the same from then till now. And they are all human. Jesus was neve
broke. You have to see the scriptures from neutral lens not any bias or preconceived mindset. All the disciples at the time had the tendency to betray Jesus. On the day He died, one said Show us the father. Another said I won’t believe until I see the hole in his hand. The disciples were not big on faith. They all slept off when Jesus was praying on that night. None of them understood the gravity of what is to come. None of them is holier than the other. Judas especially is not evil, he was caught in what most believers get caught in nowadays too. You are attending a fellowship, you believed and you were fervent. Then
something happened. A woman came to wash the feet of Jesus with her tears and hair. Holy Man. Son of God. This is Vanity. Why did Jesus allow such? They wasted the perfume on frivolities. Jesus was vain. He has lost his faith and became corrupt. The next thing to do was leave the fellowship. Once you stop believing, walk away. Judas should have left Jesus but most of us won’t leave. We begin to spread our distrust and opinions etc. We begin to try to pull the fellowship down. We didn’t build it o. We came to be a part of it. We lost our faith, we should leave. No! We must spoil it. Discontentment.
When Judas began to talk about the fellowship with disdain to others, the enemies approached him. Why don’t you help us nail him. Help us teach him a lesson. He is misleading people and God is unhappy with this. This was why Jesus didn’t pray for him. Peter never spoke to outsiders. He spoke to Jesus in a haste. Judas was spreading bile. When someone close to you start spreading bile about you, you don’t pray for them. You let them hang themselves with their rope. If you have a rope and there is a tree, it is inevitable. They hang. The only cure for discontentment in fellowship is to repent or leave. It is either you say I believe and stay within the fellowship and serve as you have always done or you leave. But staying to sabotage the fellowship is you hanging yourself. Na you go lose las las.
