We are finishing the series, turning our attention toward Judas. John: I think it's great for us to sort of humanize him a little bit at the outset. He could have been following Jesus because he thought he might be the person to deliver them from Roman oppression and things like this. The other thing is this, Judas' life is tragic; we don't know his ultimate motive.
From disciple to betrayer, Judas Iscariot is a figure with whom not many would choose to associate. It’s hard to imagine how someone could walk with Jesus and yet betray him. So why would Christ choose someone like Judas? Are we all just like him in more ways than we realize? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland discuss what we can learn from the story of Judas Iscariot and his kiss of betrayal.
