The great thing about the Christian faith is that we have the written word of God. And so someone like Judas is super complex because he was doing these kinds of things. He was participating in that which Christ said not to do with his disciples. If a sinful person whose life has fallen apart told you your sins are forgiven, they are. The power's in the word, the power's in Christ. It's not in the person.
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.
