Judas Iscariot: Jesus does things with a Purpose

How could Judas spend 3 years with Jesus and not be affected or born again?

At first glance, none of the story of Judas makes sense.  However, I think it can teach us a lot about discernment, faith, trust in God, and the mercy of God.  This character study challenges us on living and loving like Jesus.  

Jesus knows there will be betrayers and is not scared of them.  Why should we be?  He lived among them.  He demonstrated grace, power, and glory.  He did not join in on their sin.  He didn’t go to pagan temples and festivals.  He went to weddings, Jewish, not same sex or pagan.

Jesus didn’t force Judas to change.
