Judas and Us

Share a comment

In today’s episode, Stephen Davey explores the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot, recorded in Luke 22:1-6. Judas, one of the twelve disciples, conspired with religious leaders to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. His life is a sobering reminder of how small compromises and misplaced priorities can lead to spiritual downfall.

Judas wasn’t an outsider—he walked with Jesus, witnessed His miracles, and heard His teaching firsthand. Yet, his secret love of money and unmet expectations of Jesus’ mission opened the door to Satan’s influence. Stephen examines how Judas’s story serves as both a warning and a mirror for us. Are there ways we, too, might prioritize our desires over our allegiance to Christ?

This episode challenges us to confront our own potential for betrayal and reminds us of the grace that Judas ultimately rejected. The gospel offers us a "Hiding Place" in Christ—a refuge for all who turn to Him in repentance and faith. Join us as we reflect on the life of Judas, the power of choices, and the hope we have in the redeeming love of God.
