In childhood games everyone wanted to be the hero, and the villain’s part always fell to whoever lost the draw. We read the Bible the same way: we happily step into the heroes’ shoes, and nobody names a child Judas. That observation opens a sermon about the last supper and the betrayal (John 13). Judas and Peter both failed and both were sorry, but only one of them believed that God’s forgiveness reaches that far, and that decided everything. Listen if you are afraid that this time you have gone too far.
Judas – When I Betray Jesus
The Villains of Easter
The events of Easter would not have taken place if it weren’t for a group of villains. Sometimes, however, when we get to know these characters better, we discover that their attitudes toward Jesus can also be observed today. It also happens that the longer we look at them, the more we suddenly begin to see our own faces reflected in them, as if in a mirror. Are you ready for this? If so, we invite you to join us on a journey through the final chapters of the Gospel of John.
