How Judas Slowly Betrayed Jesus | Matthew 26

Judas did not betray Jesus all at once. Long before the kiss in the garden, something in his heart had already begun to drift. In Matthew 26, Judas stays close enough to look faithful, sits at the table with Jesus, hears His words, and still slowly moves toward betrayal. This Bible study looks at the quiet steps that led Judas away from Jesus: hidden disappointment, private compromise, secret imagination, the hunger for something other than Christ, and the frightening ability to sound honest while the heart remains closed. Judas’ story is not just about one man with silver in his hand. It is a warning about how slowly the soul can drift while everything on the outside still looks normal. But this is also a video about mercy. Even at the table, Jesus still made room for Judas. Even in the garden, Jesus still called him “friend.” If you feel the ache of a hidden room in your own heart, this story is not meant to crush you. It may be mercy calling you back before the darkness gets the final word.
