Dewey Bertolini's podcast


May 11, 2015

No matter how you cut it, this man was an enigma.

 

As you will hear in this PODCAST, this man -- handpicked by Jesus and elevated to the rarified air of the apostles -- repaid Jesus’ generosity by betraying Him to His executioners.

 

Is there any human emotion more painful than that of betrayal? 

 

Ever felt it? Betrayal?

 

That midnight darkness of the soul that enshrouds us like an impenetrable fog when we have dared to trust someone -- with our deepest feelings, our most hidden secrets, as if we have just entrusted to the person our very hearts, perhaps our very lives -- only to have him or her shatter our hearts and break our trust by their soul-crushing betrayal.

 

Jesus sure felt it. The pangs of betrayal. Boy, did He ever!

 

That moment frozen in time when for the first time you see with crystal-clarity that you have been played.

 

Well, for 3½ years Jesus had been played. 

 

Where did this man -- Judas Iscariot -- come from? What causes a man to make the fateful plunge from believer to betrayer? What do we really know about him?

 

You are about to find out.

 

But even more importantly, you are about to see the heart of Jesus in action as He responds in real time to this real threat posed by this very real con-man, the Apostle Judas Iscariot.
