Matthew 27:3-5 [Voice]:
Judas--The one who had betrayed Him with a kiss for 30 pieces of silver- saw that Jesus had been condemned, and suddenly Judas regretted what he had done. He took the silver back to the Chief priests and Elders and tried to return it to them.
Judas Iscariot: I can't keep this money! I've sinned! I've betrayed an innocent man! His blood will be on my hands.
[The priests and Elders want nothing to do with Judas, and they refuse to take his money].
Chief Priests and Elders: We are thru with you, friend. The state of your soul is really none of our affair.
Judas threw down the money in the Temple, went off, and hanged himself.
I am so thankful that the response we Christians can give one like Judas today is different than the Chief Priests and Elders did in his day. Jesus said before He left these three things remain; "Faith, HOPE!, and Love" Thank you Father for the hope found in our lives and the hope we offer those who will listen to His workers in the field.
