Judas' mistake

Lady of Light

In Mathew Chapter 27:3-5 States:

"Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of sliver to the chief priests and elders, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? See though to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed and went and hanged himself."

This is indeed a tragic event, but we must realize, that sometimes we can commit sins and the consequences of our behavior can't be taken back. Yes, we are sorry, but we have in some negative way affected someone or something by our behavior. We must be careful and prayerful along the way, trusting God to order our steps and confessing our sins quickly, when they first manifest themselves in our thoughts.
Most of us, if we thought about it, could probably think of something we have regretted thinking or doing. To live a life of blessing, we must put our trust and faith completely in the Lord and know that he has given us this promise in 1 John 1:9, "if we confess our sins, He is just and faithful to forgive our sins, and to cleanse us from all righteousness." Thank God for this promise!

God bless you and have a great day!
