Judas

Today, we delve into the profound story of Judas Iscariot, exploring the chilling reality of being 'so close, yet so lost.' This narrative serves as a powerful reminder that proximity to Jesus doesn't guarantee salvation. We're challenged to examine our hearts, asking ourselves if we're merely around Jesus or truly in Him. The account of the Last Supper becomes a mirror for our souls, prompting us to question, 'Lord, is it I?' This convicting inquiry reveals the grace of God working in our hearts. We're reminded that respect for Jesus isn't the same as surrender to Him. Are we like Judas, calling Him 'Master' out of respect, or like the other disciples, surrendering to Him as 'Lord'? This message urges us to move beyond mere religious observance and into a genuine, transformative relationship with Christ. It's a call to ensure our faith isn't just head knowledge, but heart acceptance of Jesus as our Savior.
