Judas: perhaps one of the most reviled names in history.
The very mention of him brings to kind images of evil and betrayal . This is the man who caused the death of Jesus.
But for most people, this is basically all they know about Judas - his final act. If you’re a fan of the Chosen, you’re wondering how his character will play out. Because we are all curious: is there more to this man who has almost exclusively been seen as villain of the gospel story? Are there even some things that might change how we look at Judas?
Well, in this video, I want to share with you 10 things you almost certainly didn’t know about Judas. But if you stick around, you will

I would never imagine that I was anything like Judas, my ego would not allow it. And before we meet Judas in Chosen, we cannot imagine the HE was like US. Oh, heavens, no! He could not possibly be normal, humble, helpful, eager to learn, he MUST be hoplessly, obiousl, mired in satanism. He would be EASILY recognized and avoided at all cost. NOTHING like wonderful ME. And then I slowly become aware that I betray Jesus every time I do NOT do His will on any given day. Judas only did it once, I do it every time I pursue my own way instead of behaving like the perfect Christian I picture I am. We cannot truthfully look at Judas without seeing ourselves. God Help Us ~
Amen!
Amazing, Carla! What an amazing way to vocalize Judas and how we are each Judas and Jesus still loves us!
There is a big difference between sinning and betraying the son of man..Jesus himself sets up the betrayal as a special occurrence in history with a designated punishment
Further, Judas sinned like we do every day as well…he wasn’t perfect except for the betrayal…which again sets up the dichotomy between sinning and selling out the savior.
I never ever think that I am a perfect Christian..or a good person, no real Christian thinks that about themself, having said that, I am no Judas, and neither are you! Our rebellions are unique, just as Judas’s was
He does❤️🙏❤️
My sentiments exactly 🙏
For me the most heartbreaking thing about Judas is that if he could have only held on for a few days he would have not only seen everything that he felt ashamed of undone, he would have seen it all turned into the greatest thing that ever happened. And Jesus would have gladly forgiven him, as he forgave Peter. I remind myself of this when I feel crushing despair--to just hang on for a little while more and see what God does with the seemingly insoluble.
Judas did what he had to do to bring Jesus to the cross he was destined to by divine plan.
Judas didn’t need forgiveness from Christ, he was doing his part to see the plan to its conclusion.
@Dolores_JNurss This was very insightful, I didn't look at Judas' situation like that. You're correct, we definitely need to hang on and don't give up, and hold on to The Lord🙏🏾
Jesus is the Judge who decides who goes to hell (depart from Me!) or who goes to heaven. Jesus judged and cursed Judas, damned him to hell. Matthew 26:24
“The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.” So you see, Jesus the judge already judged Judas. And many, many, many Christians walk with Jesus and even serve Him in doing ministry, just like Judah. BUT, on that day, they hear these dreadful words, "Depart from Me, you worker of INIQUITY. Judas walked with Jesus but because he stole from the money bag/ offerings, he was a worker of iniquity. He could not have repented because Jesus passed judgment already. There is no court of appeal after Jesus has spoken.
@@s.m.3608 Perhaps you have the cart before the horse. Knowing how Judas would decide doesn't mean Jesus made him impervious to repentance.
If Jesus Loved Judas, You are not impossible to love. His Love has no limits. Thank you Brandon
Only a friend can betray, an enemy can't.

Jesus knew Judas was part of God's plan of Salvation, that is why JESUS loved him as HE loves us.
No He loved Judas because Jesus loves all humanity. It wasn’t contingent upon his role he would play
@@uponthisrockbyjoelorr3568 Amen
Judas is in hell
@@homerdadon6363 not for you or me decide. That is God’s place. It seems he did not repent as Paul did, and the thief did. I would think Judas and the other thief are in Hell. Who knows for sure?
@@welp1000 pretty sure scripture indicates this by “it would be better that he never been born”
I always think about Judas with kindness because he was not like that for all his time with Jesus. We/I do not judge him harshly since I am also a sinner.
I appreciate the in-depth study of the followers of Jesus. I have always felt that Judas wanted to force Jesus to prove he was the Messiah.
He had watched Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead and I thought he wanted to help force Jesus to show the Jewish leaders that he was Messiah. That makes him like me. How many times I have been praying for an answer and decided to "help things along". It never works out but my sinful heart keeps trying.
I never learned that Jesus was referencing psalm 22 when he was on the cross. Thank you for the knowledge.
Oh that's nothing... Just wait till you get down to verse 14 of Psalm 22:
"I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
it has melted within me.
My mouth is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you lay me in the dust of death."
Dogs surround me,
a pack of villains encircles me;
they pierce my hands and my feet.
All my bones are on display;
people stare and gloat over me.
They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment." - (Psalm 22:14-18)
Psalm 22 is one of the Messianic psalms; and it is a prophecy of the crucifixion. But that is not how the psalm ends:
"All the ends of the earth
will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him."
and then...
"...Future generations will be told about the Lord.
They will proclaim his righteousness,
declaring to a people yet unborn:
He has done it!"
Just as Jesus references the beginning of the psalm, I believe he also references the end when he says, "it is finished". When you take Psalm 22, in the totality of its meaning, it is not a psalm of despair or a hopeless cry for help - but is rather a declaration of victory - and of the Lord's salvation. Psalm 22 foreshadows something else - declaring that the people of "the nations" and "people yet unborn" will turn to the Lord... This is foreshadowing the God's salvation going out to the whole world - in fulfillment of the promise to Abraham, that "all nations will be blessed through you".
We are all like Judas in one way or another.
The Chosen has really changed me. It has helped me get closer to Jesus. Im so thankful. And having Brandon to brake down each episode is a wonderful blessing. Thankyou .
I totally agree with your comment. Thanks Be To God for giving us JESUS, Our SAVIOR .LOVE YOU ALL
@@michelebradbury6104 Amen. 🙏
Amen🙏🙏🙏
Don’t forget Judus realised what he did & ran back to the Sadhedrin and begged him to let him go because he made a mistake., this is why Judus killed himself
Yes I must admit the chosen has brought me back to. To Jesus Christ 🙏 And listening to Brandon to Explain is Even better.
There ain’t one Judas . There are many. And most break women’s hearts!
Judas was "Chosen" to play one of the most important parts of the "Passion Play", just as all the disciples were "chosen" - each to their part of the whole....
what do you mean with chosen?
@@DA-yd2nyHe is using semantics to draw people to watch The chosen which corrupts scripture.dont fall into that simple trap.stay away!
Love The Chosen & this review is so spot on. Follow this: Judas was *not* about 30 pieces of silver, Judas was POLITICALLY MOTIVATED. He wanted Jesus to use His power against Rome & thought if there's a Roman sword at his throat He will say "Enough" & smite the Romans forever. All the Disciples thought the Kingdom of God would come literally soon in their time. But after Jesus' death it took a mere 100 years for the Holy Roman Empire to be established. It wasn't in the Disciples' life time line, but in the history of the world 100 years for that radical a change would seem like a second is to us. Blessings to all here.
I’ve always believed that Judas wanted Yeshua to “show his stuff” in front of the Jewish leaders, and thereby convince them that he was messiah.
Iscariot refers to “sicario”, one who is armed with a sicari (Roman dagger), and advocates violent opposition (like Simon the Zealot).
And how do we know exactly that Judas was politically motivated?…
Sounds like a nice story, but is that scripturally backed up in any way? All I read was Judas loved money and used to dip into the funds regularly!
@@Tova-Barin That's what I wanna know.
I have heard this theory before, that Judas easily could have thought he was doing Jesus a favor, by turning him into the authorities. He thought Jesus would then be forced to show his glory.
Please remember Scripture! There was a Roman “Legion” and the army of the “Sadducees”. When Christ spoke to them... they “Fell Backwards”. This is a Big thing, not too be taken lightly
Foreshadowing his return? Defeating his enemies by the Word of his mouth...
Never thought of that until now. Thanks.
The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born. (Mt. 26:24)
Your content is so good. Love your passion. An added bonus: most young podcasters, even if they have good content, can’t say a sentence without adding the word LIKE 2 or 3 times. 😱 you actually have excellent speaking ability. Yes, I was a speech teacher. You are a blessing.
Funny you say that! I was just watching a clip of young Podcasters tonight and thought the same thing. 'Like' I don't know what is taught in schools lately. Pastor Brandon is so enjoyable to listen to and learn from.
I think the main tool against stall words is preparation.
Writng a script and reading it back prepares the mind to say the next word and the one after it, and eliminates stream-of-consciousness cues like _like_ and _um._
in as much as i would love for every creature to enter heaven...i wouldnt make make out the goodness of Judas any more than trying to restore demons and save them from the lake of fire:
Matthew 26: Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. **But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."** John:17:12 in reference to Judas Iscariot, says that of all his disciples, none has been lost except the "son of perdition".
That betrayer is damned for eternity. He is no friend of Christ. Despite Christ being a true friend to him.
AMEN and Amen again !
When Jesus said he would be betrayed, all the disciples wondered if if it would be them. None of them thought the betrayal would be intentional.
Judas clearly intended to betray Christ because He handed him the piece of bread and told him to do what he had already planned to do. The obvious implication in John's account is that Judas was putting on an act because he didn't want the others to know what he had done, but he didn't count on Christ exposing his intentions.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 before Jesus indicated that it would be Judas Iscariot, all of the other apostles wondered if it would be them, and by implication, accidental. To the other apostles, an intentional betrayal by a fellow apostle was not even a possibility. That is why John is so angry at Judas Iscariot when writing decades later: he did the unthinkable.
Remember the chosen is entertainment, please delve into the word of God and learn for yourselves.
Thank you! I love how you explain things to help me understand the gospels.
The part about quoting sentences as a way to reference a whole passage is very insightful
YES! Because now, the false teachers quote one verse, or half or just a two word phrase! and the people not knowing their Bible believe every following word from that son of a devil pastor's mouth. Joel Osteen, etc etc etc
Brandon, TY for the reminder of Jesus's love for me, No Matter What.. Your point of this video has truly hit home with me.. I love "The Chosen Explained" as much as The Chosen .. I look forward to all yourvidros.. I learn a ton from you.. Please keep up the fantastic job, dawn myers, Bliss, Idaho
I loved how the Vatican was trying to change how they portrayed Jesus years ago.Peter, I probably would be like, but he is revered by many but far from perfect. He not only followed Jesus, he was given privy to things like the Transfiguration and supposedly heard God and saw Elijah and Moses!! Like wow, that's something. He thought he was better too and although not a traitor, didn't stay up with Jesus, didn't chase after Judas when he left, Jesus called him "Satan" once as a rebuke. He not only denied him which I get, he hid behind locked doors and I don't think people were hunting him per se. He wept but didn't go to be with Mary and John. He is given no bad press so to speak (except in Mark I heard) but with all he had, it still makes you marvel at how human and frail they all were. I don't think Judas if he lived would have hid. I don't think he would have but who knows, didn't seem the type. I can't wait for The Chosen to be back and see their version. Thank you Brandon.
Thank you, Brandon, very informative information!
Just discovered this channel. Love it!!!! Thank you!!!!
“Love your enemies”
That’s a hard one.
Hallelujah! Very new and deep revelation I received. Wow
Loved this video. Thank you so much Mr Brandon
I've also been touched that immensely terrible regret that Judas feels afyer the betrayal, makes him hang himself. 😔 heart wrenching. Yet Jesus loved him so.
So much to come yet in The Chosen and curious how they will show everything. 🤔 we've been in the "honeymoon" phase and beginning of Jesus's ministry. Things are about to get tougher for them.
Yes, I hope Dallas handles it with the class and beauty he has in the past. A friar reviewing it with another friar, said many shows start to wither in 3rd season but his stayed strong. I hope for another great season but not soon enough. : )
I love your commentary, how you share your knowledge....
I love the Chosen and how it has shaken the world. I love how you have shared "the rest of the story."
The Chosen is inaccurate as 💩!
He forgot to quote Jesus saying Judas was a devil and that it would have been better if he were never born. It’s not possible to say he was forgiven as Brandon claims. If he was forgiven then he went to heaven. Surely going to heaven is worth being born.
@@legomeego8581 “Spot on” a pastor friend of mine taught me, “Read the Word, read all the Word, read all the words!”
@@davidmason9925 So tell your pastor to read the verses in luke where it says Jesus gave the 12 apostles the authority to cast out demons and trample on scorpions and serpents. It is written that they should not rejoice that they are able to cast them out but rather that their names were written in heaven (including Judas). Ask your pastor friend how that is possible seeing as though Judas is the one who was doomed to destruction.
@@legomeego8581 Actually, if you read Luke 10:20 carefully; Jesus is not addressing the “12” but the “70” and I would suggest that rather than declaring that all their names were written in Heaven, He is comparing ones name being written in Heaven as greater than demons being subject to them. (Jesus never taught universalism, but that ones name being written in Heaven was a gift received by believing in His Name. See John 1:9, and the many times He requires that we must believe on His Name.) I hope this is helpful.
Good insights. I’ve downloaded the app and look forward to watching all the content.
We are all like Judas more then we realize. God in his Grace knows this yet He still loves us.
What a fantastic video, and the powerful message at the end. Let us imitate Christ and extend grace and forgiveness, just as He has done for us
And to him
this has absolutely nothing to do with the Bible or anything, but a long time ago, there was a movie from Australia, and one of the character's names was Judas S. Chariot.... that always killed me...
Excellent Description
Powerful message ❤❤🥹
Brandon u are very good teachers thank you for this.
Thanks for given me another view of Judas .
Another great video. 📹
Thank you for sharing Brandon. 😁
That was awesome! Thank you.
Just beautifully told
Another fact is his heart was hardened
But then Judas grieved and was sorry so sorry that he tried to give the money back. One moment of sin led by Satan yet the heart of Christ won out in the end for Judas! Remember this because we all just like Peter and Judas come up short of The Glory of God. We have zero credibility over judging anyone. I take Jesus word Friend over any of the writers words about Judas. Jesus rules he is the judge. He knew judas was used for a moment of temptation. Which leads to the question of suicide. Can a person be in heaven…. The answer is right in Jesus last word to Judas. .
@@abella4434 But had it been genuine repentance, he wouldn’t have just “fixed the financial” he would have gone to the sight of the cross and made it right with God! “God the Son” was saying “Father forgive.....”
@@abella4434he also killed himself. I don't know if he was forgiven after his death but that is a very big detail to skip.
This is terrific!
Thank you brother - your commentary and insights and encouragement are really excellent
Thank you for covering this topic. Since watching The Chosen, I've given a lot of thought to Judas. He was always portrayed as evil but without Judas' act, Jesus would not have gone to the cross to pay for our sins. Mary was asked to do something incredible to save the world. Judas played a part in our salvation too, whether he knew it at the time or not. You said it...grace. I'm interested to learn more.
Judas was chosen because he is a devil. The scripture is very clear. God used him as a pawn because he is evil.
John 6:70 Have not I chosen you twelve,and one of you is a devil.
Within the Dead Sea Scrolls was discovered the Book of Judas in which Judas was faithful and Jesus asked him to turn him in as it was a necessary step to fulfill his sacrifice. Judas refused at first but eventually consented. The story actually makes more sense this way. Why was it not canonized? Perhaps every story needs a villain.
What the enemy uses for evil, God can use for good
Jesus would have gone to the cross. Scripture says the Priests and Pharisees were planning to cleverly seize Jesus and kill him. Mark 14:1
Thank you, Brandon, so very much!!! You always deliver your talks/presentations so passionately!!! I love the passion!! I love your love of the gospel and Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father!!! I’m really enjoyed this about Judas! And you’re sharing how and what his name means, etc.!!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!! I love you, brother!! ❤✋🎄🙏🌲🥰🌲🦌👍
I think when it was said, "it would have been better had he never been born" is more about Judas committing suicide instead of wondering whether Jesus would forgive him.
The most high used you to touch my soul with this one Thank you
Pray for my wife and me.
It's not something I'll explain, but God knows we need the petitions of the saints.
I pray that it all works out between you and your wife.
Dear Jesus, the fact that this man wants your help, tells us he believes you can. We pray that this issue will be resolved by the power of Jesus, we pray that both he and his wife will stand on your promises for this situation. I pray for unity, peace, courage,increased faith, although mustard seed faith is powerful, increase their faith and let them know that iron sharpens iron, and their faith and prayers together are powerful, we believe that the will of God is done in this situation and as a result they will be able to join with others in prayer and faith to see mountains moved in their lives. Thank you Lord for hearing and answering these prayers according to your will. In Jesus name,Amen 🙏
Praying…
Prayers for you and your wife going up. God can and He will. May the grace and mercy of God sustain you and her. Lord heal this marriage, this family unit of whatever the enemy is trying to destroy. The gates of hell shall not prevail. In Jesus name, Amen!
People forget he became possessed by Satan. He didn't act alone
No one forgets Satan's part in it, but the fact of the matter is that his greed made it possible for Satan to use him. Even before Satan possessed him, Jesus had already called him a devil. That says a lot about the kind of person Judas was even before Satan actively used him.
Ive just come across this video and I find it really good. It is a remiinder that no matter how sinful we become, Jesus loves us more than we can imagine. At the same time, I do feel for Judas and what happened at the end as mentioned inn scripture. God bless you all.
Love this. So true. Amen
Jesus on Judas: "But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
EXACTLY ! Elsewhere he is referred to as The Son of Perdition !
Amen
Maybe he was talking bout how the world would see him without Judas the prophecy won’t come to pass so I say I forgive Judas cause when the devil entered him to betray Jesus was it really him doing it I think we shouldn’t pass judgement on others like that .
@@agemoth except without judas EVERYONE WOULD BE DAMNED
@@gilbertorodriguez1066 only 2 gospels claim the devil entered him

Amazing video
Great video Brandon.
I enjoyed this video and the older I get, I think The Chosen's depiction of Judas is dead on. I think Judas was a normal person who wanted to be a good disciple but worries of the world, deceit, and riches chocked the Word in Judas' heart. I have that same failing all too often myself.
NO - Judas was a lover of money, a thief! And Jesus knew it, yet chose him anyway! READ YOUR BIBLE MORE! Don't just say I always thought...
@@jbooks888 LOL I've read the entire Bible multiple times and in 4 translations. I stand by my comment that Judas followed the parable of the Sower and the Seed that Jesus told. Judas was among the 12 who went out and performed miracles. John just tells us where Judas ultimately put his heart over Jesus.
@@raleighsanford5111 Trouble is you forget that Jesus knew Judas before he chose him. Jesus said it himself. What you are implying is that we have to maintain our salvation through works... don't go the path of judas or the 10 virgins, whatever... whereas Paul says JESUS is the author and finisher of our faith. Subtle pride has influenced your thinking. You want to take some credit for making it to the end! (maybe) 😁
@@raleighsanford5111 And while I'm at it I might as well rebuke you for your deer hunting interests. Do you think Jesus would approve of killing animals for no good reason?
@@raleighsanford5111 Exactly which type of seed was Judas??? Surely you are the man and wisdom is with you! (cf Job) And all your boasting... not in Christ, but in your Bible knowledge! LOLOLOL
Curious as to the “Judas was trustworthy” point. Yes he has control of the money, but we’re told in John 12:6 that he “said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it.”
Was expecting that to be revealed after the initial observation you made. 🤷🏻
Yes that would have been an intelligent talk wouldn't it .
John 12:6 was written in hindsight. It’s likely that any pilfering Judas did was only discovered after he betrayed Jesus. It’s not unreasonable that he was considered trustworthy, right up until he wasn’t.
@@centexprepper3993 perhaps, but scripture reports the apostles being in a bit of turmoil following the crucifixion, and I can’t see them feeling that was the time to run an audit.
My guess would be it was more likely John and maybe others were aware and said nothing in deference to Yeshua’s decision to let it happen, or when they brought it up to him, he told them not to worry about it.
You are right! Jesus’ basic instructions were “ No money, no scrip, no bag!!! And there’s the betrayer (and Jesus knew it) with the bag, an unhealthy interest in money and illicit deals!! Great analysis! Blessings on you! ✝️
@@centexprepper3993 I think they blackened his name afterwards Not sure what is exaggerated or real.
Great insight. Thank you!
So interesting, thank you. 🙌🙌🙌🕊
Thank you.
I wish the Angel Studio app would give us an option to choose a lower video quality that uses less data because in South Africa data is very expensive and where I stay I have weak signal. Like on UA-cam I chose a lower video quality.
I never looked at Judas as a villain, I feel like he was setup because Jesus knew exactly everything that would happen to him, so they choose Judas to betray him on purpose, to me, Judas is innocent and just did what the prophecy forced him to do
Judas had free will and was evil from the beginning, he would have been in hell, If he had never met Jesus. In the scriptures he was stealing all the money, even before he betrayed Jesus. Actually Jesus gave him a way to be saved, because Jesus made judas evil deed a good deed, because like you said God knew he would betray him and it was necessary for salvation, so that is why I think he actually got saved , if he truly repented, which I think he has, because he gave the money back and hanged himself .Praise the Lord!
Because he hung himself, he took Jesus out of his life and let the devil in. Had he believed what Jesus taught he would have not killed himself.
Since i was a child, i have felt for Judas xx
Love your videos, very informative! Happy Easter and God Bless!
Awesome video, I’m surprised Judas name means God be praised. And I agree on the part where the disciples should of figure it was Judas who would betray Jesus during their last supper. I was surprised how you explained that a person who would choose their rabbi over their father. As an act of love, sort of how Judas choose to follow Jesus and how you explain that he still cares for him after what he did. Great video keep it up. ❤❤
Judas was CONDEMNED in scripture by both Christ and the disciples !
According to Scripture, when the apostles asked Jesus ‘what will come of the one who betrays You’ Jesus told them it was none of their business
Judas is the perfect example of the lukewarm believer with just enough faith and love to cast out demons and heal the sick but not enough to follow Jesus all of his days when you go to heaven it's like a marriage God knows who can go the whole distance he sees the future and like a bad marriage he knows who shall quit over time just like lucifer did.
@@agemoth could you give a reference? Where in Scripture is Judas condemned?
GARP
1 second ago
I read these comments and see people disparaging Judas AS THE Devil. Judas is an easy target. This is to assume Jesus did not know his chosen few? That he would choose an apostle that would betray him? Did not Jesus foretell his own destiny?
Judas was chosen to complete the prophecy and the passion. Jesus was crucified for OUR sins. Where would Christianity be without the crucifixion? That Judas would betray Jesus on his own accord is absurd. I have read accounts where whole populations of people use Judas to bolster their antisemitism. Jesus was not a fool. Judas followed his masters wishes. I am of the opinion that Judas is a Saint. I urge all to ponder the part Judas played in the life of Jesus.
I was told that the moniker 'iscariot' was not really a last name at all but a descriptor roughly meaning "of the knives" a play on the hebrew word 'sicarii' which means "assassin". apparently judas like "simon the zealot" was an extremist and belonged to a group of terrorists called sicarii who assassinated roman occupiers, simon was a maccabee and john the baptist was a nazrite and essine. i think it fits his pattern because infiltration, subterfuge, conspiracy, descention & assassination special ops would be his training and mode of operation which he turned on his master
I believe your understanding is based on valid information. I get so disturbed at teachers who try to describe Judas as the most trusted of the twelve because “having the bag” implies that he was the treasurer and keeper of the funds as they traveled etc. Have they overlooked Jesus’ instructions to take no money or scrip and “not have a bag” and yet what is Judas’ defining characteristic? He had “the bag”.... and was described as having an obsession with money and opportunistic deals! He was a betrayer and Jesus knew it!! Also look at “Son of Perdition” and “went to his own place” the only explanation for this man is Jesus’ “prognosis” Greek for for-knowledge upon which pre-destination is based!
Blessings on you! Stay “Word-based” !
It makes no sense that the Romans would ignore a man with a name that implicated him in assassinating Romans.
@@davidmason9925 It makes no sense that Jesus would have considered the money bag as representing something evil. If so he would have simply forbade it.
@@lrayvick Brother Ray, Jesus did forbid “the bag (purse)” the disciples were not to rely on acquired wealth but rather to trust God for daily support by those they served. Matthew 10:14 Etc! Blessings on you✝️
Brandon here I was looking at all these bizarre UA-cam videos. Then your video pops up! Changed my whole mood for the better! What you said about forgiveness! “Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up”
Thanks for sharing this!
Judas really isn't so different than a lot of us. While we do not betray him to death, we certainly do not jump out and carry the gospel to the least of these, which is a form of betrayal. (Ouch) but it raises the question, IF Judas had not committed suicide, would Jesus have also tried him as he did Peter? I like to think so. [Note..."tried" was a typing error. It should say "restored".]
“tried him”??
Oops... Restored him. Thank you. (Autocorrect is my nemesis)
Peter grieved his error in repentance and submission to Christs will. Had Judas done the same, Yes, he would have been saved. This is how we are saved also...for we all betray Christ.
If Judas had not betrayed Him he wouldn’t have committed suicide. Judas loved Jesus, unlike the Pharisees. I think Jesus did ‘try’ him.. by allowing Judas to confess his sin and attempt to repent… and judge himself to death by suicide.
Also noteworthy in this case, is that Judas was practically possessed, taken over, by Satan himself when he betrayed him... not an ordinary evil spirit, no, but the evil one himself... John 13:2 and especially 13:27
Great points! I've always thought that in the case of Judas, and of Pontius Pilate, it was necessary for them to do what was done, else there could be no crucifixion and therefore no sacrifice (on the part of Jesus) and therefore no salvation. Christianity would have died stillborn. In light of these facts, how can one vilify them and condem them? Their actions were necessary, and IMHO, Jesus would have known this. My $0.02! :)
Another Judas lover, I see! Woe to you, if you're treated as I have been for saying as much. 😉
Fantastic lesson!!
This was good! Thank You ❤️
I believe the position Judas had at the “table” with Jesus was significant…as where you sat in relation to the Rabbi meant something…could you speak into that Brandon as I believe it is revealing and like this content helps break the stereotype we have of this man.
Also, thank you…so glad you emphasised the crucial forgiveness element here….learning deepens our belief and faith but cannot save us…information is not a fruit of the spirit…we have received so we must offer forgiveness…this is often a hard narrow road, not “feelings” based…but His peace will come with it.
God bless you Brandon.
Maybe Judas was like you and I, he messed up.. we’ve betray he betrayed back slide, he tried giving the 30 piece of silver back.. repentance
It was remorse not repentance
@@derrytezo881 is repentance not a change of course brought about by a deep sense of remorse for what one has done?
"While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled” (John 17:12).
Damned.
Also, it would be better for the betrayer if he had not been born.
We dramatically say such things in a state of grief, but Jesus, God the Son, Maker of Heaven and Earth, said this of the man whose purpose was to betray Him to fulfill the Scriptures.
Judas lived and ended his life in the errors of his "Own will" instead of the will of Christ. This is the difference in redemption of Peter, and the condemnation of Judas. We all betray Christ , the difference is we repent and change our ways to be in line with Gods will....not our own.
Parable. Scripture memorization. Heavenly story with an earthy meaning
Really love this
Here is my interpretation, and I heard this once years ago, but it has stuck with me. Judas had a role to play, and Jesus knew what that role was, and yet, He kept him in the fold. Jesus loved him as much as the other Apostles. He never abused him, called him names, even when He knew that Judas would betray Him. And when all was done, and Jesus descended into Hell, tore open the gates to bring with Him certain people to Heaven, Judas was among them.
You are ABSOLUTELY wrong ! Jesus said very clearly 'how TERRIBLE for the man who betrays the Son of Man ! It would have been better for him if he had never been born .' Also ,He said "I chose you twelve ,didn't I ? Yet one of you is a devil !"
And elsewhere ,the apostles called Judas 'The Son of Perdition ' and that 'he left us, to go to his own place.'
Nothing could be clearer of his doom .
@@agemoth Not many of us realize that we are far worst than what Judas had done.
I like your comment except for the last clause. Judas did not end up in Heaven; “He went to his own place. “ He is “the son of perdition” a title he shares with the coming man of sin, “The Antichrist”! Blessings on you!
Warning - the word of God is not a TV series. Especially one that makes up most of the storylines, when you have the whole script right there. It's not even in the same order as scripture and I don't know why Dallas made that choice. It's a good series that will make you feel good. May even make you feel good about Jesus but don't mix it up with scripture. I hope it somehow leads people picking up their bible and testing it but possibly not. Don't go away thinking that's how it went. Read your bible. There is a very Catholic influence and they don't tend to be big in allowing the truth to be told. Also, the angel studios that is involved in making this was founded by two Mormons. Just saying so you know the facts. Happy viewing but read your bible. See to it you are not deceived abs test everything
Also Jonathan Roumie is a Knights Templar Mason ! I posted the evidence on my channel !
@Lorraine Trout Mask I'm not understanding what's going on in that extract. Where was it taken from to get the whole context? I hear him saying he is which does not surprise me in the slightest but I didn't understand what the skull rings was about
Yeah their adding to the story which is against the Bible...I wish they would just leave those moments alone and find their fictional or other characters to change and add all they want and leave the Bible alone
@L. P. adding? There's barely any bible in it. I would say it's loosely based on the biblical events that may not have happened. I realise they are trying to guess things that might have taken place. Yet i could say if there's something that didn't happen it's the whole episode. Matthew is clearly autistic and Jesus doesn't consider healing him? Mary Magdalene goes back to being possessed like she's fallen off the wagon and Jesus is uninterested and doesn't seem to know it has happened? A disciple visits John the Baptist and John asks what he's like? So why would he need to later send his disciples out to check if he is the messiah?
Thank you so much
Very informative, sir
I'm happy you're sharing your views. I didn't agree with what you said on Mary Magdalene however, so I'll try and listen to this . I do like your channel.
I really enjoyed these videos. I have been betrayed and there are people who would gladly see me crushed. This however is because of my love for Christ, not just reading about his works or thinking about him but truely loving him and seeing him as really the true friend I never had. Now I have comfort in him after looking for love from human beings which never meterialised. No love of human beings can ever surpass Christ`s love.........how can it :-) . Anyway, I do not hate those who hate me, I wish that they are saved. I don`t want revenge as I care for them. Some may find that odd but nevermind :-).
I never saw Judas as an evil villain. I’m not saved, but from what I see, if this is the Creator’s plan, then SOMEONE had to do it…could have been Peter, Mathew, John or even Mary Magdalene. He probably felt overwhelmed and guilty, but somehow, this may have needed to play out. I’m sure he was embraced.
I totally agree with you. Judas had his part to play, just like the other disciples/apostles. If Judas hadn't done what he did, the crucifixion would never have happened, the resurrection would never have happened and there would be no story. Jesus already knew how it was all going to go.
He's the only person every said to have been inhabited by Satan......
@@RKG64 I respectfully disagree. I think Satan could have gone into anyone.
Again, different strokes for different folks.
"The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
- Jesus, Matthew 26:24. I fully believe that Jesus loved Judas, but that love does not relieve him (or any of us) of the consequences of our choices if we don't seek forgiveness from the only One who *can* lawfully forgive us. Two men betrayed Jesus; Peter and Judas. One repented toward God, the other did not and took his own life. Only God knows the heart, but our opinions are our opinions and the truth is the truth. Looking at what Jesus said, it is clear he knew something that none of us could.
@@TrueSight_333 If Judas was attempting to fulfill the Zechariah 11 prophecies, then he is more evil than most can imagine. He was a type of, if not "the", Antichrist, the idol shepherd, but attempting to be seen as the good shepherd. Jesus, in love, gave him opportunity to repent, but he did not. Read on about what the idol shepherd will do to the flock.
Beautiful
brilliant teachings
I believe Judas thought Jesus would call down angels to save him. The same thing the devil suggested.. it does say the devil entered him.
I don't think he expected Jesus to die and that's why he felt sincerely guilty.
Another question: Could the desire of Judas have been to force Jesus' hand, to take command and be the physical deliverance of the people as many expected?
Still a sin.. remember we don’t test God
Brauh you are apart of the angel studio repent can believed i subed
I have always felt bad for Judas for without him, God’s plan would not have come to fruition.
Didn't I read that Jesus referred to Judas as a devil? I really like you videos of bible stories.
After Judas ate the bread, Satan entered into him. Then, Jesus told him, "What you are going to do, do it quickly."
Jesus once called Peter Satan, when Peter said Jesus wouldn't be crucified.
John 6:70 "Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!”"
@@joshuakarr-BibleMan that's not the same thing ! He also said that Judas was LOST ,and John called him 'the Son of Perdition '.
I have chosen you twelve and one of you is a devil yes he said that
14:24 judas was not the closest follower its John and Peter ???
Thank you. I never thought of this. Good to know.
Wow! Thankyou. I just saw another glimpse of Jesus great love for us, and for his enemies, wow!
Ohh and that he would lay down his life for his friends
Thank you Tina your comment made me suddenly think of something new to me! Jesus loved His enemies and friends alike but there is one distinction between them. Some of those He loved He named as His ‘enemies’. Whereas others are named as His ‘friends’, as was Judas. Which is indicating to me that not all people who sin against God are considered as ‘enemies’ of God! Many of us are prodigals that have not yet returned to our father’s house on our own but we are still accepted as family. I think Judas was a prodigal who ‘returned’ in his heart and still considered a Friend of God
The Chosen is The Best Story of Jesus's Life on Earth. Fantastic and Inspirational. Love
Thank you for the presentation! As I grew in my biblical knowledge, I started to feel sorry for him. He seems to have repented and been truly grieved by his sin. We can all relate. I can't say that as a sinner, any of us are better or worse than Judas, nor can I judge him. We all sin, no matter what our intentions are. Christ died and rose for us all. I truly hope that God forgave him, and we will see him in Heaven one day.
Jesus said it would have been better if he wasnt born. Matthew 26:24
@@Slax15 Indeed, and if people truly understand the meaning of that, then they know why. It still doesn't change the redeeming quality of Christ for him or anyone else.
Committing suicide is the sin against the Holy Spirit.
Proverbs 10:28
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
So very educational..
the odd part of Judas story is that for someone who handled the money, he would have had plenty of opportunities to taken a side cut without anyone noticing and certainly would have made more than what he got for betraying Jesus.. I suspect there is something to this tale that has been lost to the pages of time or the vatican.
17:29 I was raised Roman Catholic from birth 65 years ago (no longer practicing per se) and we were taught that Judas DID take from the treasury.. adding to the belief that Judas was dishonest from the beginning and all about what he could get for himself. Does scripture back that up I’m wondering?
@@kathrynpassmore5425 very true. He stole money from their treasury
Again with the Vatican! People give the Vatican too much credit in these kinds of things. If there was something to hide the Vatican didn't have the power to enforce it in the lands of the other Patriarchies: Jerusalem, Constantinople, Antioch and Alexandria.
@@heraclito3114 Spoken like someone who is vastly uneducated and uninformed - do you know which country has the "most powerful" spy agency in the world? It is simply known as "The Agency" and it's the Vatican. You know, the same place that also has it's own bank, Any organization that has survived since the days of ROME wields considerable amount of power. You'd have to be niave and stupid to believe otherwise.
@@queenbee1588 true, Judas was stealing the money from their treasury.
Thank you
THANK YOU! INSPITE OF TRYING TO LIVE A GOD LOVING LIFE FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS,I OFTEN STRUGGLE WITH THE DOUBTS IF I AM FORGIVEN FOR MY HEDONISTIC PAST.I NOW FEEL THE FORGIVENESS.
Brilliant
