Judas, a character in the Bible, is one of the twelve disciples of Jesus [1], also known as Judas Iscariot. According to the New Testament, he was born in Galileo and sold Jesus to the Roman government because of thirty silver coins. After Jesus was crucified, Judas committed suicide because of regret.

Judas, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ, recorded in the Gospel of Luke that when the Lord Jesus announced the meaning of the Eucharist and the declaration of the covenant, he went on to say a sentence that surprised all the disciples at that time: "Look, the hand of the man who sold me is on the table with me.". Judas Iscariot was chosen as a disciple by the Lord. He spent three years with the Lord, walking, sitting at the table and eating together; Finally, he sold Jesus to the enemy for thirty yuan (the price of the slave)! The Lord Jesus had given him many opportunities to repent, but he still hardened his heart to the end and refused to repent. According to Jewish custom, the host will kiss every guest before the dinner. If so, the Lord Jesus will kiss Judas! Before dinner, the Lord Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. The Lord Jesus will not miss Judas, and the Lord Jesus will also wash Judas' feet! When eating, the Lord will also dip bread for Judah to eat! But Judas was still hard hearted and did not repent. According to the agreement with the chief priests, when the Lord Jesus was in Gethsemane Park, "when everyone was not around," he brought people to seize the Lord and took a kiss as a sign. Luke and John both mentioned that "Satan entered the heart of Judas.".

The history of Judas' life shows the tragic end of a life that could have been praised by God. If Judas died before he set foot in Jerusalem, later generations would think that he was worthy of being listed among the twelve apostles and would be remembered by future generations. If he had not revealed his nature at the end of his life, there would have been no stigma left. Now, his character has been exposed to the world, which has its own purpose. It is to give a warning to all those who break away from the sacred faith like him.
Shortly before the Passover, Judas and the priests planned to give Jesus into their hands, intending to capture him where the Savior often went to meditate and pray. After attending the banquet at Simon's house, Judas had the opportunity to reflect on his plan and what he was going to do, but he did not change his plan. He betrayed the glorious Lord for the value of a slave of thirty dollars, so that he could be humiliated and killed.
Judas wasn't that bad from the beginning. Only because he indulged in evil desire, until the evil desire dominated his whole life motive. Because he was a slave to evil, he gave himself to Satan and let him drive him to do all evil things.

Judas became one of the disciples of Jesus when many followed Christ.
What the Savior said in the synagogue, on the seashore and on the mountain terrace made the audience intoxicated, and his teaching touched the hearts of the disciples. Judas saw the sick, the lame and the blind coming to Jesus in groups from all towns and cities; He also saw the dying man at his feet. He saw with his own eyes the great power of the Savior to heal the sick, drive away evil spirits and bring the dead back to life. He felt firsthand the evidence of Christ's power. He had seen that the teaching of Christ was superior to what he had heard before.
He loved Jesus and was eager to be with him. He felt that he needed to change his character and life, and hoped that he could feel this change through his union with Jesus.
Judas was one of the twelve apostles. The Savior gave him the power to cure diseases and drive out evil spirits.
But Judas was not completely dedicated to Christ. Although he accepted the ministry of deacon for Christ, he did not let himself be edified by the Holy Spirit.

Judas was displeased by Christ's repeated statements that his kingdom did not belong to this world. He once drew a route for Christ to go. He argued that John the Baptist must be rescued from prison. But John was imprisoned until he was beheaded. Jesus did not show his kingship to avenge John. Instead, his disciples withdrew to the countryside. Judas advocated more aggressive fighting. He believed that if Jesus did not stop the disciples from carrying out their plans, the work would be more successful. He noticed that the hatred of the Jewish leaders was getting deeper and deeper, and saw that the Jews wanted Christ to show a miracle from heaven, but Christ ignored their challenge. Then he had a heart of disbelief, and Satan made him suspicious and rebellious.
Why did Jesus say so many frustrating things? Why did he prophesy that he and his disciples would be tested and persecuted? The reason why Judas supported the cause of Christ was that he hoped to seek a high position in the new country. Will all his hopes fail? At this time, Judas had not yet determined that Jesus was not the Son of God, but he was already doubting and trying to find a reason to explain God's incompetence.
Although the Savior himself had made it clear that his kingdom did not belong to this world, Judas continued to proclaim that Christ must reign in Jerusalem. When Christ fed five thousand people, he wanted to make this happen. At that time he had helped distribute food to hungry people. He has the opportunity to see how he should benefit others and feel the pleasure of serving God. He helped lead the sick and suffering people to Christ in the crowd. He saw how comforted and happy the world was because of the great doctor's healing ability. He should have learned the ways of Christ, but he was blinded by his own selfish desires. He was the first to use the enthusiasm aroused by the miracle of dividing bread to realize his ideal. He initiated the idea of forcing Christ to reign. He had the greatest hope, so he was the most disappointed.
Christ's speech on the food of life in Capernaum's synagogue was a turning point in the life history of Judah. He heard Christ say, "If you do not eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, there will be no life in you." (John 6:53) He saw that what Christ provided was spiritual interests, not worldly interests. He thought he was visionary and had seen that Jesus would not become king, so following him would not give his disciples any good end result.
From that time on, Judas spread all kinds of questions and confused the disciples' thoughts. He put forward some arguments and misleading opinions, and often repeated the arguments and arguments that the scribes and Pharisees used to oppose Christ. All difficulties, sufferings, hardships and things that superficially block the gospel, whether big or small, are mostly used as evidence to explain or attack the authenticity of the gospel. He often quotes scriptures that have nothing to do with the truth that Christ is teaching. These verses, taken out of context, made other disciples' thoughts more confused, and deepened the frustration and frustration that often oppressed them. But the way Judas did these things made people think that he was sincerely seeking truth! When the disciples examined the evidence to confirm the words of Christ, the great teacher, Judas almost led them away from the right track unconsciously. In this way, he used a very godly and obviously clever method to put forward opinions completely different from Jesus' words on certain issues, and attached the meaning that Jesus did not express to his words. Judas' suggestions often led to the ambition of pursuing worldly honor, so that the disciples did not think about the important things they should consider. Most of the "who is the biggest" disputes among them were instigated by Judas.
When Jesus proposed to the rich young official that he should be a disciple, Judas was very unhappy and thought that Jesus was wrong. If there are people like this ruler to be believers, they will be able to help maintain the work of Christ. Judas thought that if he took his advice, he would be able to offer many plans that would benefit the little church. Although his ideas and methods are different from those of Christ, he believes that he is better than Christ.
Of all the words that Christ spoke to his disciples, Judas did not completely agree with them. Therefore, under his influence, the ferment of rebellion quickly rose. Other disciples did not know the mastermind behind these things, but Jesus had seen that Satan was passing on his character to Judas, thereby opening a way to influence other disciples. Christ explained this one year before he was sold. He said, "Didn't I choose your twelve disciples? But one of you is the devil." (John 6:70)
However, Judas had not publicly opposed the Savior, and did not seem to have doubted his lesson. Before Simon's family sat down, Judas had never heard of complaints. Hearing Jesus' rebuke, he couldn't help hating Jesus to the bone. Damaged self-esteem and the evil idea of revenge broke through all obstacles. If the factors that corrupt virtue are not resisted and overcome, they will follow Satan's lure and enslave the soul by Satan's will.
But Judas's heart was not yet completely rigid. Even after he twice agreed to betray the Savior, he still had the opportunity to repent. At the Passover dinner, Jesus exposed the traitor's attempt and showed his divinity. When he washed the feet of his disciples, he also gently washed the feet of Judah. Unfortunately, Judas ignored the final influence of Christ, and his fate was determined. When Jesus washed his feet, he went out and did the work of a traitor.
Judas reasoned that if Jesus was going to be crucified, it would always happen. His own betrayal of the Savior will not change the outcome. If Jesus did not die, betraying him would only force him to save himself.
Garden of Gethsemane
Even so, Judas never believed that Christ would let people catch him. He betrayed Christ to teach him a lesson. He intended to play a role so that the Savior would give him what he deserved. But Judas did not know that he was killing Christ by doing so. In the past, when the Savior taught people a lesson in parables, how many times have people been fascinated by his moving remarks! How many times have they unintentionally condemned themselves! But every time they understood the truth, they became angry and wanted to stone Jesus, but every time he dodged. Judas thought that since Christ had escaped so many snares, he would not be captured now.
Judas decided to try. If Jesus were really the Messiah, the people who had received so much help from him would gather around him and support him as king. This will break the bottle in many people's minds. At that time Judas could enjoy the merit of establishing a king on the throne of David, so that he could become a member of Christ in the new kingdom.
So when he said to the chief priests of Judaism in Gethsemane Park, "Whoever I kiss is him (Jesus). You can take him" (Matt. 26:48), he fully believed that Christ would escape from them. At that time, if the Jews blame him, he will say, "Didn't I tell you to seize him?"?

Later, when Judas saw that the captors of Christ had bound him tightly according to his words, he was surprised to see the Savior let people take him away. He followed anxiously from the garden to the place where he was being tried before the Jewish magistrates. Every time Jesus moved, he hoped that he could show that he was the Son of God, shocked the enemies, and disillusioned all their plots and power. But as time went by, Jesus was still willing to endure all the insults that were put on him. At this time, Judas, who sold the owner, had a great fear in his heart and knew that he had sold the owner to death.
When the sentence was about to be pronounced, Judas could no longer bear the pain of conscience. Suddenly, a hoarse cry came out in the courtroom, which surprised the whole audience. All they heard was: Caiaphas! He is innocent, please release him!
At this time, Judas, who was tall, pushed through the shocked crowd. His face was livid and haggard, and his forehead was dripping with sweat. He rushed to the judgment stand and threw the money he had received from the seller before the high priest. He grabbed Caiaphas' robe and begged him to release Jesus, saying that he had done nothing worthy of death. Caiaphas angrily pushed Judas away, but he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say. The meanness of the priests was now exposed.
Then Judas cried out, "I am guilty of selling innocent people's blood." But the frightened high priest replied with a contemptuous look, "What does that have to do with us? You should bear it yourself!" (Matt 27:4) Although the priests were willing to use Judas as their tool, they despised his despicable personality. When Judah confessed his sin to them, he kicked him away.
Then Judas fell at Jesus' feet, confessed that he was the Son of God, and begged him to save himself. The Savior did not condemn the man who betrayed him. But Jesus did not say a word condemning him. Jesus looked at Judas with pity and said, "I came to the world at this time.".
All the people were amazed and surprised to see how Christ had forgiven the man who sold him. They realized that this was no ordinary person. But he wondered, if he was the Son of God, why not save himself from the shackles and defeat those who accused him?
Judas hanged himself
Knowing that his plea was useless, Judas rushed out of the courtroom and shouted, "Too late! Too late!" He couldn't bear to live to see Jesus crucified, so he hanged himself in despair in the suburbs of Jerusalem.

Later, the body of Judas the traitor fell from a heavy hanging tree, and the body that fell to the ground was cracked and intestines flowed out due to decay. The Jewish high priest bought the land with the money from the traitor Judas who betrayed Jesus Christ, and buried the traitor Judas; This land was called "Blood Field", and later it was used as a burial place for foreigners who died in Jerusalem.
