RE: Judas: thief and traitor

in #steemchurch6 years ago

Thanks for sharing this with us, I love your concluding part... Finally, on this question, some have thought that the description that the evangelist makes of Judas as "the one who was to deliver him" must be interpreted in the sense that Judas was predestined to give to the Lord. But we do not believe that this is the case. It simply explains what Judas was going to do in the immediate future, something the evangelist knew because it had already happened when he was writing. In any case, Judas was responsible for his own decisions and would bear his just punishment, as the Lord explained:
(Mt 26:24) "The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him, but woe to that man for whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man not to have been born.
