Did Judas Have a Choice?

Did Judas Have a Choice?
Mark 14:12-21 |  Pastor Terry Wilcox

Possible Reasons

1. Money.  Matthew 26:15
2. Embezzlement.  John 12:4-6
3. Demon-possession.  Luke 22:3, John 13:27
4. His nationalism.

   Contrast Mary – Mark 14:3-9 – and Judas – Mark 14:18-21

1. The determinative will of God.  Mark 14:21
   God seeing the future is not to say He predetermines the future.

   Jesus, having the will of God, declares to freely do the will of God. 
   Humans, created in God’s image, uniquely have freedom to choose God’s  and embrace .
3. The  will of God.  Mark 14:25
   The guidance for open choices is that they  .  I Corinthians 10:31

• Trust the determinative will of God  .
• Rejoice in the declarative will of God with  living.
• Choose  that honor Jesus.
