Who was the most evil person in human history?


JUDAS, ONE OF THE TWELVE

Judas, inspired by Satan, agrees to betray Jesus for silver

Judas at the Last Supper and in the garden

The Gospel of Judas

GOD USES EVIL TO ACCOMPLISH HIS PURPOSES

God used Judas, Herod, Pilate, etc. to provide salvation through Jesus’ death (John 6:64; Acts 4:27-28)

We are responsible for evil choices, but God uses them for His purposes (Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28)

HANGING AROUND CHRISTIANS DOESN’T MAKE YOU A CHRISTIAN

Judas was with Jesus, but never embraced Jesus as Savior and Lord (John 12:6b)

Some people in the church may not be believers in Jesus (Matthew 7:21)

IF WE HAVE FAILED THE LORD, WE DON’T HAVE TO END UP LIKE JUDAS

The story of “Jeff”

The Lord is willing to accept and forgive anyone who turns to Him (John 6:37)


May we embrace God’s amazing grace in our lives and point others to it
