J is for Judas
Iscariot
You may wonder over
the selection of this word for the day.
And you may
ask:
Why this!
‘You should have
selected many other good people’s name or place for the days’ write-up.
Why didn't you
instead select ‘J’ is for Jesus’ ?
Ok a good question,
I appreciate your concern.
Yes, I would have
done that but, then I thought.
Oh My God! About my
Lord.
Of course much has
been written about Him, and ha yes, no other person on earth have been
discussed, debated or written as Jesus.
So, let me talk a
bit about this person called Judas,
Yes, as we all know
he is the apostle who betrayed Jesus Christ.
All the four gospels talks about this traitor. Yes he received 30 pieces of silver for
betraying Jesus Christ. He betrayed
Jesus Christ in a very diplomatic way, he kissed him and betrayed. The person who so closely moved with his Lord
betrayed him just for few pieces of silver, yes his greed for money along with
satan’s influences forced him to do the most awkward and thankless act ever did
in the history.
Knowing Judas’s act
Jesus’ other disciples and close associates all shocked and condemned him. What a pathetic fall of a fellow being all of
them thought.
Judas probably
never thought of doing such an act against his Master, but the doubt in him
created by satan developed and ultimately led him to take such a cruel step. Small doubts led him to the bigger ones and
lastly to his peril.
The best way to
clear your doubts on someone else or something else, approach the Word of God,
that is the best cure for your doubts. Devil
will make his all attempt to deviate your attention from the Word of God. So be attentive or diligent in your thoughts
and actions. Fill your mind with His love
and truth and do not leave any room for satan to enter in. Keep busy with godly activities or for God’s
work.
The same is the
case with many of the believers, the doubt slowly enter into their heart and
that goes into others mind and division and disagreement and bigger doubts form
in and ultimately reach a stage of backsliding, and then sorrow pain and even death of the spiritual and
physical man takes place. (here in the case of Judas, physical death happened).
So, note that the
same satan who trapped Judas is still on his job to trap Jesus’ followers.
Let Judas’s life be
a good lesson for us today.
Let the doubts be
cleared by spending time in the presence of God by prayer and reading and
meditating the Word of God.
May God help you.
