It is startling that even the eleven true disciples asked the question: "Surely not I, Lord?"

Being deeply grieved, they each one began to say to Him, "Surely not I, Lord?" And He answered, "He who ...read more

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
