Thirty pieces of silver

I think one of the most trusted and valuable pieces of information on can receive is the revelation of the person in your midst who will betray you.  Jesus Christ performed miracles and Judas was there.  Jesus fed the five thousand and Judas was there.  Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead and..........  Then there came a time when Jesus was simply a resource to Judas.  When it came right down to it, Jesus was worth thirty pieces of silver.  In dollars it was about 3000 dollars.  In essence, it really was not that much money, but Jesus was reduced to that.  It revealed something about Judas and his character that he could no longer hide.  Only after he had ruined the relationship between he and Jesus, for Jesus would never be seen by him again, did he finally see that it was not worth it.  By that time, he was revealed to be a common charlatan and a whore for money.  Not even the priest would help him find redemption.  With all that he was laid out on the table, Judas finished the job by hanging himself.  I say this because that is the way of thieves and liars.  They are often caught up in their own games and lies.  They fall by their own hands.  They reveal what they always want hidden and the come to their own demise.  Allow God to reveal what people in your life will do for thirty pieces of silver.  The information will be priceless.
