Episode 262: Matthew 26 Part 1 Betrayed For Greed!

Judas was hand-picked by Jesus to be a part of the twelve. He has heard the teachings, he has seen the miracles, he has even performed them himself, yet he has met secretly with the religious leaders to betray Jesus. He was the treasurer for the group and he has been stealing money the whole time which tells us that Judas was greedy and he loved money. What better way to get paid big bucks than to sell out Jesus to the rich religious leaders in Jerusalem! And that is exactly what Judas does. For thirty pieces of silver, which he doesn't even keep, he sells Jesus to the religious leaders and from that moment on, he planned to commit premeditated murder.
