Religious leaders plot Jesus’ death and remorseful Judas hangs himself.
The plan is in motion and will not be stopped.
None of this was a mistake- rather, this was the plan from the beginning.
One the same day these religious leaders were plotting Jesus’ death they would not accept the returned payoff money from Judas because they thought it would this “blood money” would defile the temple treasury.
Remember that betrayal is bitter and is never worth it.
Regret. Shame. Unable to go back or make things right now. But confession of sins without repentance from sins is incomplete. Even Judas did that.
Jesus, help me to be quick to repent.
