Have you ever been betrayed by a close friend?
I just met with a young man last week who was struggling from the feelings of betrayal from within the church...
What do we know about Judas?
He was one of the original 12 disciples that walked and lived with Jesus.
Judas is always listed with the 12, but there is almost always a comment, such as “who betrayed him.”
Being close to Jesus’ followers doesn’t make you a follower
The only other insight we’re really given about Judas up to this point in the gospel of John is his relationship with money.
Why am I pointing this out?
Money is the biggest competitor against Jesus Christ for the allegiance of human hearts in our culture.
Jesus wasn’t surprised by Judas’ betrayal
Jesus knew and understood Judas’ betrayal from the beginning.
Jesus understood the evil in the world and was in complete sovereign control.
Jesus is not the source of evil, but has the supernatural ability to take the evil in the world and turn it for the good of his people and for his glory.
Jesus has the ability to take evil done to you, and use it for your good
Jesus has the ability to take the evil you have done to others and to yourself, and use it for your good
Jesus then speaks to, encourages, and prays for his disciples...
Jesus words are power
What we see in John 18 is just a taste of what is coming...
In Jesus first coming, he came not to judge the world but to save it.
He came as the lamb, the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of the world.
In Jesus second coming, he is coming to take those he’s saved and to judge the world.
He’s coming back not as a lamb, but as a lion.
This is all the gospel of John has to say about Judas, so we need to turn to the gospel of Matthew to read the rest of the story...

Is this repentance?
No.
“The first command of both John the Baptist and Jesus was repentance.
Repentance is not just sorrow for sin but a decisive change, a turning away from sin to a life of obedience that flows from trust in God… It does not mean self-punishment, depression, or mere remorse.”
Judas may have had regret for his actions.
He may have been sorry.
But he did not repent.
Let me put it this way:
Repentance is not just turning from sin, it’s turning toward Jesus.
