Judas called Iscariot

Luke 22:1-6

About the Sermon

You know the name: Judas. He’s the one who betrayed our Lord. His story recorded for us in Luke 22:1–6 seems inevitable, yet there was a time when Judas thought his life would unfold in very different terms. He took a little from the treasury and then a little more. There was likely more to his motives than the bottom line on his personal ledger and more than Satan’s designs for him. Whatever the mix that moved this one from Jesus’ inner circle, Judas eventually sold Jesus out to those who would crucify him. He regretted it in the end, a bitter end indeed. Are you Judas? Jesus and Luke are fine with us asking that question. In fact, each of us should.

About the Series

Luke writes that we may be certain of the things that we have been taught. That is, confident in the good news about Jesus. Apparently some of the things we have been taught are so wonderful they are hard to believe. In his orderly account, Luke announces good news of great reversals in which God humbles the proud and exalts the humble. Peace with God through the forgiveness of sins really is available but on God’s terms. To show us how we must come to him, Luke introduces us to the characters Jesus lifted up and to the proud whom he brought low. In all this he compels us to humbly believe in the Son of the Most High God and to preach this good news of great joy to the end of the earth.
