206 Matthew 27 A The Foreshadowing of the End of the Wicked

In Chapter 27 of Matthew Judas realizes he has made a terrible mistake in betraying Jesus. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Jesus would allow himself to be arrested. He comes in to the leaders and confesses his wrong doing and makes restitution as best he could by returning the money they had paid him to betray Jesus. And Yet the guilt and shame is so overwhelming he goes out and takes his own life. He just cannot live with himself a moment longer. The end of the wicked is foreshadowed in the death of Judas. The trial of Jesus proceeds even though Pilate and others make it evident that He is innocent.
