Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving!

When you read about Judas Iscariot (the man who betrayed Jesus), it makes you think “what a bad guy, how could he do that”? Remember though, it was all part of the plan God put forth when He sent Jesus down to earth. He told Jesus that this must be done. Judas was under the influence of the devil. Also remember, the devil has to go to God before he does anything! So God allowed this all to happen. Jesus knew the plan. He was walking out what God said to do. This did not catch Jesus off guard. Jesus still loved Judas, and Jesus affected Judas’s life in many ways. It just so happened that the darkness that Judas got tangled up in led Jesus to the cross. It had to happen for all of us to be saved. Remember this, when you walk out of the Light of Christ, you walk into the darkness. That is what happened to Judas. He unfortunately never turned back to Jesus. He was convicted in his heart and tried to stop what was in motion, but God set forth the plan and it had to be carried out! No matter what, the plans of God always come forth one way or another! We must keep trusting Him!
