Judas: Blinded by Desire
The name Judas comes from Judah, which
means "God be praised." Yet, this man is the darkest character in
all of Scripture.
The starting place for our exploration of
Judas is to reflect on this scene in which Jesus is within the final days of
his life. He's at a meal at a home, and a woman comes anointing him with oil,
which stirs a strong reaction--not all of it positive. It reveals a struggle
that is often present among God's people: many of us struggle with a strongly
utilitarian faith.
This scene is complicated by the fact that
Judas was the primary objector and that he used the needs of the poor to
satisfy his desire for his own needs. At this point, we get into more than a theoretical discussion of
stewardship.
Judas' reaction arose from his refusal to
allow Jesus to reshape his idea of what God should be like, of what the kingdom should be
like. He refused to allow Jesus to reshape his expectations.
