Friend

I liked this chapter. I love how Jesus was a friend to Judas right to the end. I feel so sorry that Judas never truly realized who Jesus is - that he took his own life still trying to handle things his own way. Isn't that what our society tells us to do - handle things on our own? Be independent. Be strong. Don't need anyone. Don't trust anyone. And isn't the result the same in the end? A pointless end. Hopeless. Lost.

If only Judas would have stayed around to see the rest of the story unfold,
he might have seen his friend once again.
