You ever do something and then think back later, "What was I thinking?" Usually those types of things are stuff that happens in the moment. It's a quick decision, someone catches you off guard, maybe you are caught up in the excitement of a situation. Then boom! You do something that makes no sense - not even to you!
But Judas had a long time to think this one out. Not only did he go to meet with the Pharisees, he also had some time to think about it before he went to the garden to betray Jesus.
This is a guy who saw Jesus heal a least a dozen people - up close! He heard his teachings and saw how they affected the people! He lived amongst the people who gave their lives to follow Him.
I can understand how a Steve could not believe. But someone who was with Him every day?
And then God told me that I betray Him all the time too. And I've been given the chance to be with Him every day. And I've seen Him always meet my needs, always be a friend, inspire and lead me in ways I couldn't imagine, be able to do things that are pretty close to miracle status.
When I started, my whole thought was, "How could Jesus do this?" But, I guess the better question is, "How could I?"
