Meet the Apostles: the kiss of death

Meet the Apostles: the kiss of death by ric Gustafson


According to Matthew 26:21, Jesus gave the Apostles a bombshell. He told them that one of them would betray him. The idea that one of them would do that was almost too hard to comprehend. All of them in turn asked the question ' is it I?".
They were so distraught that they did not notice Judas Iscariot leaving.
So who is Judas Iscariot?. The origin of his name has been a subject of debate among bible scholars. As to why Judas was allowed to join Jesus's group is unknown. Why did he do it?. The Bible states that Satan entered into him. Did Jesus know he was going to do this?. God's Word clearly states that Jesus knew Judas's heart and knew his attentions right away.
What happened to Judas?. He felt shame and regret later. He tried to return the money. When he felt that he had no other option,he went out and hanged himself.
