Checking into Gods Presence...
Christ indeed died some 2000 years ago but there is little doubt that the death of Judas Iscariot occurred before that of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 27:5).
Let it be known that Judas' act of betrayal was recorded as part of God's sovereign plan upon the Son of Man. It served as a means of bringing redemption back to the world so we can be reinstated back to the position of grace we once enjoyed before the fall of Adam and Eve. (Psalm 41:9, Zechariah 11:12-13)
In Isaiah 53:12, we can then deduce that the only sin Christ committed was His unfailing Love, not only that, it also casts serious failings upon the character of Judas Iscariot who above all other things allowed his faith in Jesus Christ to fail him.
In that, Judas worked with Christ throughout His Ministry just like other disciples. He was privileged in his position within the group and was opportuned to witness all the mind blowing miracles Christ performed.
As a treasurer, he became a thief having been stealing from the group's money bag and Christ knew his disloyalty was to the point of no redemption. Other apostles may have deserted Him and Peter may have also denied Jesus but Judas made the greatest error in history by leading the temple guards to Christ at Gethsemane and also identified Jesus by kissing Him.
Today, I want us to start to work on our faith and we must not at any point allow our faith in God to fail us. Judas Iscariot started with a little crime but Satan took advantage of his vulnerability and the greed in him was escalated to the point of no redemption.
As a result, he delivered an innocent Man to the vipers of this world, who crucified Him.
May the death of Christ bring redemption upon our souls and His ascension to heaven will give us His grace to be able to walk in His way in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
