Judah betrayed Jesus, avoid being another Judas.

Judas betrayed Jesus, don’t be another Judas

Judas was defiant to the truth. He walked for satan 

John  6:70 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?  6:71 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

John  8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

John  13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;

1 John  3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Don’t resist the truth,  it makes you another Judas.

He was a thief.

John  12:4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,  12:5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?  12:6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

Don’t be stealing. Stealing every where in the office, at home, In the church you don’t pay your tithe.

Very very deceptive.

John  13:21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.  13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.  13:28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.  13:29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.  13:30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.

Acts  13:10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

Be a man of integrity. Don’t be deceptive. It makes you to be another Judas.

Even our Lord could not keep Judas.

John  17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Jesus is our Shepherd. Let him keep you. Be a sheep.

John  10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:  10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand..

Lost his office to another.  Don’t allow sin to make you loose God,’s investment in your life 

Psalms  109:6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.  109:7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.  109:8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

Acts  1:16 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.  1:17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.  1:18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.  1:19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.  1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

Determined to do evil. Determined to love Jesus and keep His commandment.

John  18:2 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.  18:3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.  18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?  18:5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.  18:6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

Psalms  41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

Matthew  26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,  26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.  26:16 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

Committed suicide. Whatever the challenges, keep your life.  Things will still be better.

Matthew  27:3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,  27:4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.  27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

Avoid been Judas by avoiding his nature in your life.
