JUDAS ISCARIOT – LESSON 4
A CHOSEN DISCIPLE
Yesterday we looked at the background of Judas Iscariot. He grew up in Bethany and was educated in the best that the Jewish establishment could offer to this son of a respected Pharisee, Simon “the leper” Iscariot. Today we look at his experiences under the discipleship of Jesus.
We do not have a record of his individual call, but we do know that Jesus specifically chose him to be one of the twelve. In this exclusive “school” of students (disciples) Jesus would personally teach and train him and the others to succeed Him.
Judas saw Jesus do many miracles, signs, and wonders as folk were healed, demons cast out, and the dead raised. He heard the “sermon on the mount” (Matthew 5-7) and many other sermons, teachings, and parables. He witnessed all of it, and more.
Judas also did some of those same works. Luke 9:1-6, 10 tells how Jesus sent all twelve out on their own. He gave all of them power (specially anointed) to cure diseases and cast out demons, to heal the sick and to preach the good news of the kingdom of God. They ALL did these works, Judas included.
Judas knew Jesus’ message centered on the great commandment (or attribute) of love. He received at least three years of tutoring from the Master. He became certain, as did the others that Jesus of Nazareth was indeed the promised Messiah.
Having witnessed such great things, and even doing them himself, how is it that he eventually came to betray the one whom he knew to be the promised Messiah?
That is the question we will discuss tomorrow.

HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY?
Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” This is so true because we become or do what we think about. How we perceive things and what we continue to think about affects every area of our life.
Take someone that has had a rejection problem. Someone might look in their direction, but they don’t’ really see them. They are thinking about something that had nothing to do with that person but if the person turns and speaks to someone the rejected soul thinks that the person is talking about them. I have seen this happen. They see things through a heart that has been wounded.
I never realized until about 13 years ago that when I am in deep thought that my face appears to be angry. I am not angry about anything I am just processing thoughts and I look stern. I have had to really work on that since we go live on Facebook and YouTube. I don’t want to come across looking angry when I am not. I spoke to a telephone operator once and she came across so cheerful. I thanked her for her wonderful attitude. She told me that they had to keep a mirror in front of them, so they know what they look like when they are talking. She told me that since she started smiling while talking to her customers, she actually came across differently.
Some people look at a glass of water that is halfway up and see it half full. Others see it half empty. Both are correct, but many feuds have been fought over which is right. Does it really matter? I suggest that the water gets shared and when the glass is empty, they have a good laugh.
Then there is the toilet paper roll. Does it go on the toilet paper holder over or under? Mine is always over, but others go under. I have had people change the roll in my home to suit their preference. Does it really matter which way it rolls? After the shortage of toilet paper in 2020, we should all be glad to just have it available.
We need to take our thoughts and let them be sifted through by the Word of God. We need to see that others may have differing opinions than we do, but we can be kind to them. I am not talking about sin now I am talking about small divisive things like the glass of water. Some see the sky all blue on a sunny day, while others look for the one little cloud.
I truly believe if we look into the mirror of the word before we speak that we will find our words will come out of our mouths filtered in love. Remember, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, (patience), gentleness, (kindness) goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. The more fruit of the Spirit we have in our lives the less it matters whether the glass is half full or half empty. Be blessed.

EXHORTATION
HELEN SANDERS
Made some mistakes lately? We all have, but what we do about it can be life changing. God always has a "reroute" with his GPS system, we just have to plug into it. How do we do that? By asking him to forgive us, and He will put us back on track.

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

I witnessed a real life lesson awhile ago coming out of my neighborhood! HOW? By a bunch of vultures attacking a poor animal which was obviously injured BUT still alive. I've never seen that many vultures attacking one helpless animal before. I actually had to almost stop to watch this atrocity. Observing, I was reminded of a real true life event. As I watched these many vultures on the attack all of them trying to get their own MOUTH on the poor animal. You guessed it; My mind quickly went to the reality of people & many times so-called Christians attacking a poor helpless soul that has been (for whatever reason) kicked down on the road of life. Sure they are down, sure they (at the time) cannot get up. So...What do many folks do? They will get their MOUTH on this poor needy subject talking about them, backbiting and literally with their gossip eat them alive; And making it sometimes impossible to get back up, recover and try to go on with their wounded lives. WHY is this rampant in our society? WHY can we not just reach out to the wounded, the hurting instead of kicking them to the curb and YAP, YAP, YAP until the poor subject gives up on life entirely? Don't just claim to be a Christian; But please come on and BE ONE. Yes, reach out in love to the hurting, the needy and those that are not as fortunate as we are....who’re DOWN. Please do not kick them down farther with your MOUTH...Yes, with your talking, gossiping TONGUE. Come on let's use our tongue to speak LIFE and BLESSINGS....Not DEATH and CURSING. Just saying....
