Matthew Chp. 27
I think this is one of the saddest stories I've ever read. Judas hanged himself because he realized that he had betrayed an innocent man. Don't you think Jesus would have forgiven Judas if he had repented of his betrayal?
I wonder if Judas did all this as a way of trying to force Jesus to seize power over the Romans. Obviously, Judas never understood what Jesus was saying and teaching during His ministry on earth. I think Judas thought that Jesus was dragging his feet and just needed some pressure to perform the way Judas thought He should. May we never think we know exactly what God's agenda is to the point of trying to run things our own way.
Judas felt remorse but that isn't the same thing as repentance. Paul says in 2 Cor 7:10 "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." (Quest Study Bible)
27:25 "...His blood is on us and on our children". Actually, His blood is on all of us because we have all sinned. His death was a sacrifice for past, present, and future sinners.
27:46 QSB "Did God actually forsake Jesus? The divine and human natures of Jesus were never separated, even during the ccrucifixion. Yet, it is clear, difficult as it is to explain, that Jesus' intimate fellowship with God the Father was temporarily broken as he took the sin of the entire world on himself. Jesus quoted the words of Psalm 22, which begins with despair but ends with renewed trust in God."
