Judas - A Man Who Became A Traitor

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 7, 2013

When you picture Judas what do you see? A monster, or a devilish figure? Do you ever see yourself? The truth is we have a lot more in common with Judas than we care to admit. In this lesson we'll explore the life of Judas and how it relates to our own.

Consider Your Day

Contributed by John Dobbs on Feb 2, 2019

Judas Iscariot

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 26, 2015

Judas-probably the most notorious figure in history. But before we claim to be nothing like him I would say, “Hold on; not so fast.” We may not be a Judas but I do think we have the capability to develop some of his characteristics if we're not careful.

JUDAS ISCARIOT We might look at the bad things people did in scripture-like Cain killing his brother Able or David committing adultery with Bathsheba or Peter denying he knew Jesus and think to ourselves, “I would never do such a thing”. This definitely holds true when it comes to ...read more
