In this message from John 13:18–30, we witness the supreme tragedy of betrayal—Judas turning from the Savior. The passage exposes the deceptive progression of sin and the sobering reality of a heart that looks religious on the outside yet is far from Christ.
This sermon walks through the tragic steps that led Judas to his eternal ruin:
1. Love Money
2. Sear Your Conscience
3. Reject Jesus' Love
4. Feel Remorse Without Repentance
It is a sober warning to examine our hearts, but also a gracious reminder that even the darkest betrayal cannot thwart God’s redemptive plan. In the face of Judas’ night, Jesus still offers life, forgiveness, and hope to all who repent and believe.
