When we read all the gospel accounts we get a clear understanding.

Jesus chose the twelve - including Judas.
Judas was of the devil.
Satan entered Judas.
Jesus knew this from the beginning.

Judas went to the chief priests.
He initiated.

Judas wanted money to betray Jesus.
To trap Jesus.
To seize and opportunity for the Religionists to arrest Jesus without repercussion from the people.

Of course the Religionists were delighted.
They agreed to 30 pieces of silver.

Judas then began to look for the opportunity.

How could this happen to Judas?
He did not believe.
He was a thief.
He left himself open to satan.
The Lord knew all this from before the foundation of time.

Yet, He still pressed on…

So should we.
