The Betrayal

The Betrayal

February 23, 2020 | Mike Stancak

Passage: Matthew 26:14-25

Judas is one of the most iconic figures in the Christian Scriptures.  He has been interpreted in numerous ways in film and literature, sometimes as a villain, sometimes as a tragic hero.  Even those who have never stepped foot in a church building know to call a traitor by Judas' name.  But who is he really, and why does it matter for us?  This Sunday we continue the road to the Cross, and we see that Judas is a man who desires the Kingdom, but is repulsed by the way the Kingdom comes: through the shouldering of a cross.
