JESUS STILL LOVES ME
from Love Fiercely Hosted by Keela Craft Ambrose
I am Judas. How many times have I betrayed Jesus… pledging my loyalty to Him in one moment & then in the next selling Him out for the sake of what I want in the moment? How many times have I plotted for my way & chose to not surrender to God – I was selling out for what I wanted more than Jesus? How many times have I rejected Him? How many times have I betrayed Him? - The answer is daily. I know what He has done for me, & yet the list of ways I sell out is long. I consciously resort to my way of thinking, acting, & being - I choose anger, or envy, or I hold grudges. I knowingly choose to turn toward (MY WAY) - sin & away from Jesus. & I wonder how Jesus could still love Judas & I wonder how He could still love me. Judas’ sin was betraying Jesus. Judas knew of Jesus’ great love, he knew of his power & compassion, & yet Judas betrayed Jesus, & caused his death. & I am Judas. In fact, you are Judas, too. Every time we fail to love as Jesus has loved us, we betray him. I am Judas. Every time we allow people to suffer, we betray him. I am Judas. Every time we choose our self-interests & pride instead of the good of everyone around us, we betray him. I am Judas. Every time we react in anger & hatred, we betray him. I am Judas. He knew that I would choose myself/my way over Him… throughout my life & He chose to love me even still. VISIT MY WEBSITE: KEELACRAFTAMBROSE.COM
