3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve.4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus.
I can't remember if I caught this before, or not. But, this surprised me a little bit. I'm trying to think of the big picture here. The long standing struggle that is going on between God and satan......good and evil. The struggle that man entered into somewhere along the way. To think that satan had a direct hand in the his ultimate demise, really makes me think. Did he not know the purpose for Jesus being on the earth? Did he not see it? I can understand the disciples being confused and a little in the dark, when it comes to Jesus and his mission...but satan should have known what was at stake. I'm just sayin'.....
I had not caught that before either. It does seem weird that he would play right into God's hand but then again maybe he is blind after all he did fall from Heaven.
ReplyDelete67 “If you are the Messiah,” they said, “tell us.”
Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe me,
Like Satan they are also delusional.
