Looking At Judas
Looking at Judas Iscariot I sometimes see myself.
Judas turned his back on Jesus in search of personal gain., choosing to put self and money first.
He even went so far as to betray Jesus by telling the Pharisees where to catch Him so they could arrest Him.
I may not try to get Jesus arrested, but every time I turn my attention to the world and it’s shiny objects, making them more important than my faith walk, I betray Him.
Every time I choose to spend time watching t.v. but decide I’m too tired or don’t have time to read my bible, I betray Jesus.
Every time I say I don’t have tithe money but go out to eat or shopping, I steal from Jesus.
Every time I do it my way instead of submitting to His will, I choose self over Jesus.
The answer is simple, really
Give Jesus the attention He deserves.
Give Him the first of my time and money, not the leftovers.
