Judas, who were you?
What was in your heart?
What was in your soul?
Judas, who were you?
Who?
.
How did you get to that point in time?
You walked with Him…
You talked with Him…
You broke bread with Him…
How did you get to that point?
.
You were there when He walked on water
You were there when He calmed the sea
You were there when He raised Lazarus from the dead
You were there when He spoke on the Mount.
You were there, right there
.
While He died on the cross
You were hanging from a tree
Regret was too late, much too late
Could you not live with yourself
While He died for you?
.
But…
.
You weren’t that different though, were you?
Others saw the miracles- and turned away
Others heard His voice calling them- and turned away
Others were given the choice between Barabbas and Him
Others were like you, rejecting Him.
.
Even the other disciples had their doubts, didn’t they?
The other disciples had their moments of vanity
The other disciples didn’t understand or refused to see
The other disciples denied Him, ran for their lives
But you betrayed Him to death.
.
We will always ask you why
While we too deny, turn away, choose Barabbas
And do we not betray Him when we reject Him
When we do not love our fellow man
When we turn away from the Eternity of Him.
.
Who are you, Judas?
Are you us?
Are you me?
