And then when he sees what he's done, And then when he sees what he's done, And then when he sees what he's done, he's just so overwhelmed by a sense of he's just so overwhelmed by a sense of he's just so overwhelmed by a sense of of guilt and shame of guilt and shame of guilt and shame that the only thing that he can see that that the only thing that he can see that that the only thing that he can see that that to get him out of the situation is that to get him out of the situation is that to get him out of the situation is to throw a a rope over a limb of a tree, to throw a a rope over a limb of a tree, to throw a a rope over a limb of a tree, put his neck through a noose, and jump. put his neck through a noose, and jump. put his neck through a noose, and jump. And what breaks my heart about this is And what breaks my heart about this is And what breaks my heart about this is is and this is kind of a side point, but is and this is kind of a side point, but is and this is kind of a side point, but I think it's it's important.

  2. I think it's it's important. I think it's it's important. If If If Judas had just gone to Jesus, Judas had just gone to Jesus, Judas had just gone to Jesus, like and said, "I'm sorry. Jesus, I am like and said, "I'm sorry. Jesus, I am like and said, "I'm sorry. Jesus, I am so sorry." He would have forgiven him. so sorry." He would have forgiven him. so sorry." He would have forgiven him. He would have forgiven him right then He would have forgiven him right then He would have forgiven him right then and there. And it's such an interesting and there. And it's such an interesting and there. And it's such an interesting point cuz as you you can go to the part point cuz as you you can go to the part point cuz as you you can go to the part I think it's at the end of Mark where I think it's at the end of Mark where I think it's at the end of Mark where Jesus there's a woman I think she's from Jesus there's a woman I think she's from Jesus there's a woman I think she's from Cana if I'm not mistaken and you know, Cana if I'm not mistaken and you know, Cana if I'm not mistaken and you know, she says even the dogs eat the crumbs she says even the dogs eat the crumbs she says even the dogs eat the crumbs off the table and Jesus changes his off the table and Jesus changes his off the table and Jesus changes his mind. Now, people say the point they mind. Now, people say the point they mind. Now, people say the point they didn't change his mind, he actually had didn't change his mind, he actually had didn't change his mind, he actually had the wisdom and he wanted to see her the wisdom and he wanted to see her the wisdom and he wanted to see her faith, but he did change his mind in a faith, but he did change his mind in a faith, but he did change his mind in a sense. So, Jesus we know Matthew and sense. So, Jesus we know Matthew and sense. So, Jesus we know Matthew and Mark does say it would have been better Mark does say it would have been better Mark does say it would have been better if he had not been born. Now, one thing if he had not been born. Now, one thing if he had not been born. Now, one thing to hold on to within this is that we to hold on to within this is that we to hold on to within this is that we know that this was written after know that this was written after know that this was written after the the the event obviously. It wasn't written down event obviously. It wasn't written down event obviously. It wasn't written down as it was happening. So, therefore, we as it was happening. So, therefore, we as it was happening. So, therefore, we could conclude that did the gospel could conclude that did the gospel could conclude that did the gospel writers include that because obviously writers include that because obviously writers include that because obviously they would have absolutely hated Judas. they would have absolutely hated Judas. they would have absolutely hated Judas. They killed the leader of their tribe, They killed the leader of their tribe, They killed the leader of their tribe, Jesus of Nazareth. However, you know, Jesus of Nazareth. However, you know, Jesus of Nazareth. However, you know, it's it's that I I don't I'm not it's it's that I I don't I'm not it's it's that I I don't I'm not historian. I haven't looked into it historian. I haven't looked into it historian. I haven't looked into it enough to know did Jesus enough to know did Jesus enough to know did Jesus actually say it would have been better actually say it would have been better actually say it would have been better if he had not been born because if he had not been born because if he had not been born because obviously he was fulfilling prophecy, obviously he was fulfilling prophecy, obviously he was fulfilling prophecy, you know, he was fulfilling what had to you know, he was fulfilling what had to you know, he was fulfilling what had to come, the atonement. So, it's it's such come, the atonement. So, it's it's such come, the atonement. So, it's it's such a difficult one to grapple with, but a difficult one to grapple with, but a difficult one to grapple with, but isn't that such a interesting point, the isn't that such a interesting point, the isn't that such a interesting point, the fact that if Judas went to Jesus and fact that if Judas went to Jesus and fact that if Judas went to Jesus and said, "I'm sorry." from the depths of said, "I'm sorry." from the depths of said, "I'm sorry." from the depths of his heart, Jesus would have forgave him.

  3. his heart, Jesus would have forgave him. his heart, Jesus would have forgave him. Now, let me know your thoughts. Would Now, let me know your thoughts. Would Now, let me know your thoughts. Would you Would you think Jesus would have you Would you think Jesus would have you Would you think Jesus would have forgave him? Put in the comments cuz forgave him? Put in the comments cuz forgave him? Put in the comments cuz I'll be interested to know what people I'll be interested to know what people I'll be interested to know what people think about that cuz I think some people think about that cuz I think some people think about that cuz I think some people say the sin that he did was say the sin that he did was say the sin that he did was unforgivable. He put God to death. Now, unforgivable. He put God to death. Now, unforgivable. He put God to death. Now, I don't know what you make of that, I don't know what you make of that, I don't know what you make of that, Will, but we do know you know, Peter Will, but we do know you know, Peter Will, but we do know you know, Peter denied Jesus three times in the Jewish denied Jesus three times in the Jewish denied Jesus three times in the Jewish Sanhedrin when you know, he was there Sanhedrin when you know, he was there Sanhedrin when you know, he was there and and he was like, "You know, do you and and he was like, "You know, do you and and he was like, "You know, do you know you know this man?
