Topic : Judas Iscariot of today. Text : John 13 :21-30 Key verse : 26 -27.
26Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28But no one at the table knew for what reason( NkJV)
In our text the Lord was having supper with His twelve disciples and Jesus began to tell them that one of them will betray Him and they began to wonder who among them could this be and Peter always the spokesman of the group asked John to find out from the Lord whom the betrayal is, Jesus told them through a sign in this manner “Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” Yet the disciples did not still get it, that is why is very important to be sensitive in the spirit, because there is no way to know the heart of a man by the construction of his face , I love the way the scripture puts it In (Jeremiah 17 : 9)
“The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
Judas Iscariot is in the class of believers who we refer today as friendly enemies they are in your local churches, in your family . Their words are very smooth and kind , but they have become and instruments of satan to destroy and stop every good thing that can possibly come your way. They are the ones that opposes the work of God in the kingdom, They are the once that brings division in the church through gossip, backbiting, they criticize everything that will cause the advancement of any person or projects and weaken others to act positively .
Friend don’t let your life be like that, one thing you must understand and is certain is you can not stop God’s people rather you will become an instrument in His hands to promote God’s agenda for His people , for a nation and for a course and you will perish in the order of Pharaoh and others in the scriptures .
Judas sinful life opened him up for Satan to use him to betray his master and Lord with a kiss and he died a very shameful death now and forever and Satan shot himself in the leg by killing Our Lord . For doing that brought promotion to Jesus and eternal life for all who will believe in Christ. So beloved make up your mind to be on God’s side always and be a plus to peoples life .
