*ARE YOU A SELLER OF JESUS?*
*"So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them. And they were glad, and agreed to give him money." Luke 22:4–5.*_
*MESSAGE*
The betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot remains one of the saddest and most wicked actions recorded in Scripture. Judas walked with Jesus, heard His teachings, saw His miracles, and shared in the privileges given to the other disciples. He was not a stranger to the truth; he was close to the Truth Himself. Yet, closeness to holy things does not automatically produce a holy heart. A person may be in the right company, hear the right messages, and participate in spiritual activities, yet still hide secret desires that are contrary to Christ. This is why every believer must sincerely ask, “Is there anything in me that can betray Jesus?”
Judas received the same training as the other disciples and witnessed the same power of God, yet his heart was not fully surrendered. He wanted a Messiah who would fulfil his own expectations, and when Jesus did not follow the path of earthly ambition, Judas opened his heart to greed, disappointment, and betrayal. Secret sin has a dangerous way of twisting the mind and corrupting spiritual values. A double-standard life may remain hidden before men for a season, but it cannot be hidden before God. Satan often looks for hearts that are nursing secret sin, bitterness, greed, pride, or selfish ambition, because such hearts become easy vessels for his destructive agenda.
Therefore, drive out every Judas tendency from your heart. Do not sell Jesus through hidden sins, compromise, greed, ungodly ambition, or a life that says one thing openly and practises another thing secretly. It is good to belong to a healthy church and relate with spiritually mature believers, but association alone is not enough. Each believer must personally submit to the truth of God's Word, grow in grace, and allow Christ to rule the heart. Judas went his own way, but the child of God must ask the Lord to show the right way and give grace to walk in it. Let your heart be loyal to Christ, your life be sincere before God, and your devotion be free from betrayal.
*ACTION POINT*
✍️ Examine your heart and renounce every secret sin, compromise, or selfish ambition that can make a person betray Christ.
