Matt 26: 14-16
14Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests 15and asked, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" So they counted out for him thirty silver coins. 16From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.
Judas Iscariot went to the chief priests to betray Jesus. He accepted their money in order to hand Him over to them. I wanted to look at the cause of this, why Judas would do such a thing. Earlier in chapter 26, Jesus said that he will be crucified. Judas thinks that the messiah is suppose to bring Israel back on top, politically and military. Hearing Jesus say this may cause his expectations to drop.
Sometimes, our hopes and our expectations of people and situations may not be what it is. We expect things that may not be right to expect. That is when we find disappointment. We should expect great things, but not in the world, but expecting it according to what Jesus will.
Father God, I pray for your expected will. Let me have a heart according to your own. I know that you are the Lord of the Universe. I ask that I may not put my faith in earthly things, but to put my faith in You alone. I ask this in Jesus name.
Amen.
