The Judas Within Ourselves

I learned and interesting concept this week in Matthew 26:14-16, 24. I had put myself into the story, replacing myself with some of the people. Here I still can't fully understand what Judas was feeling when he betrayed Christ. But when Christ said that it would have been better if he had not been born, I felt anger and sadness. Then it brings about the fact of how often we betray Christ. Christ has done so much for us, yet there are times that even we betray Him. Whether it’s something we did or said or lack thereof. For not standing up for our beliefs and Christ because we’re afraid of getting rejected. There are times when we are more focused on trying to “fit in” and appease to the sights of the world, that we betray Christ in order to do so. Are we more focused on the “coins” that the world has to offer, or are we going to continue to remain with Christ at the Passover and continue to remain by His side no matter what? And in the end, would’ve it been better if we hadn’t been born to be able to betray Him?
