Do you think Judas’s betrayal was an act of faith? Judas, who was pragmatic, who was trusted to handle their money, who made sure their resources could be spent wisely. Judas, whose sin had always been being too pragmatic and forgetting to leave room for the miraculous? Do you think Judas entered the city behind the donkey and thought “Something miraculous is going to happen.” Do you think he heard about the bounty and thought “Jesus has humiliated and outsmarted the Pharisees every other time they’ve tried to trap him. I’ll turn him in for the money and he will escape and think of how many things we can do with that silver.” ? Do you think his horror was just remorse, or recognizing a miscalculation?
