Luke 22:1-13

“Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve disciples, 4 and he went to the leading priests and captains of the Temple guard to discuss the best way to betray Jesus to them. 5 They were delighted, and they promised to give him money. 6 So he agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus so they could arrest him when the crowds weren’t around.” v.3-6

What does it mean that Satan entered into Judas?  Great question!  It simply means that Judas was driven by a different voice.  Instead of listening to the voice of Christ, the voice he had heard for the last two-three years, he listened to a different voice.  It was the voice of deception and this voice would cause him to sell out Jesus for some money, leaving him in misery and shame, and causing him to hang himself.

When we listen to the wrong voice we too will make wrong choices selling out Jesus for something else.  We have to be careful who and what we listen to.  The enemy is deceptive and knows how to spin things to cause us to question or justify our actions.  Instead, we have to learn to resist that voice and that temptation so we can continue to live and enjoy the life Jesus died to give us.

Don’t be a sell out!  Listen to His voice and Live for Him Boldly!
