今天我們要來談另外一個猶大，這個人經常被稱為「加略人猶大」，他被公認是一個小偷和叛徒。猶大就是那個沒有對耶穌持守忠心的使徒。 　今天的經文提到，就在耶穌被捉拿、被釘在十字架的前一刻，祂跟使徒們說話。在第21b節，耶穌說：「我鄭重地告訴你們，你們當中有一個人要出賣我。」耶穌這句話是在指猶大。 　然後，耶穌拿一塊餅蘸一蘸並交給猶大。第27節告訴我們，當「猶大一接過餅，撒但就附著他。耶穌對他說：『你要做的，快去做吧！』」 　然後猶大就出去並背叛耶穌，他已經跟猶太領袖計劃好要交出耶穌，好讓他們可以捉拿祂並殺害祂。之後，猶大吊死了自己。 　猶大的故事是如此地可悲，他跟從了上帝的兒子，但他卻放棄這一切好讓自己可以服事魔鬼。今天你會服事誰呢？ －DF 「猶大吃了那塊餅，立刻出去。那時候正是黑夜。」 約翰福音13:30 禱告：天父，我不要像猶大一樣，我願生命的每一天都服事祢。奉耶穌的名，阿們！ (尤榮輝譯)

Judas Iscariot
Bible Reading: John 13:21-30
Monday, February 10, 2014

Today we will talk about another Judas. This man is usually called Judas Iscariot. He was known as a thief and a traitor. Judas was the one apostle who did not stay faithful to Jesus. 　In our Bible Reading today, Jesus was talking with His apostles right before He was arrested and crucified. In verse 21b Jesus said, “Believe me when I say that one of you will hand me over to my enemies.” Jesus was talking about Judas. 　Then Jesus took some bread and dipped it and gave it to Judas. Verse 27 tells us that when “Judas took the bread, Satan (the devil) entered him. Jesus said to Judas, ‘What you will do — do it quickly!’” 　Then Judas went out and betrayed Jesus. He had already planned with the Jewish leaders to turn over Jesus so they could arrest and kill Him. Later Judas hanged himself. 　The story of Judas is so sad. He followed God’s Son, but he gave it all up so he could serve the devil. Who will you serve today? —DF “Judas ate the bread Jesus gave him. Then he immediately went out. It was night.” John 13:30 PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I don’t want to be like Judas. I want to serve You every day of my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
