Judas: The Archetypal False Disciple Betrayal, Darkness, and the Unshakable Plan of God
In one of the most haunting scenes in the Gospels, Jesus announces to His disciples: “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” (John 13:21)
This is not a betrayal from a distant enemy. It’s one of His own—Judas Iscariot, who had walked closely with Jesus, witnessed His miracles, and shared intimate meals with Him. But beneath the surface, something far more sinister is unfolding.
Betrayed Yet Sovereign
