Jesus knowingly chose Judas as a disciple, aware he would betray him. Despite witnessing Jesus' teachings and miracles, Judas consciously chose betrayal anyway. The sermon explores how divine foreknowledge and human free will collide in Judas's tragic choice.
Chapters
Jesus is going, I've chosen 12 of you, and 11 of you are here to do the work that God has called you to do with me. And one of you is called to do the work that God called you to do, but it's not with me. It's to my destruction. You are going to betray me. You're going to kill me. And he knew this. He, he knew that the person that was going to betray him was right there by his side. Was walking with him all along. All the lessons, all the teaching, all of the things that he witnessed, all of it, everything that Jesus did was right there in front of this person. And Jesus knew all along he was going to betray him. And Judas may not have known, but eventually he did. Eventually he had to make that decision. He had to look at everything that Jesus had ever done with him, for him, around him, everything that he had witnessed, and he still decided against it. He still decided to betray and put up Jesus to be crucified.
