A lot of people in the Christian world think that Judas was a bad guy. Ok, so he sold out one of his best friends. And yes, he did trade the life of a human for some cash. If you look in the Bible at the part where Judas decides to betray Jesus, it might even say that Satan entered him.
But, I don't think Judas made this decision because he wanted to hurt Jesus. I don't even think that he did it just so he could make some cash. In fact, when he realizes what he's actually done, Judas hangs himself. See, I think the whole thing went down because Judas gave up on Jesus being the Messiah.
A lot of people do that. I mean, it's a pretty big stretch to say that Jesus wasn't even a person who lived on this earth - that's in a lot of historical texts. And to think that no one ever considered Jesus was the Messiah would be kind of crazy too. But, as far as people giving up on Him actually being sent from God to show us the best life possible - well a lot of people have given up on that idea.
Don't do that! I'm not saying you have to believe that Jesus was God - heck, you don't even have to believe in God. I'm not saying that you have to believe that Jesus was sent to show us how to have the best life possible. What I am saying is just don't give up on the idea that He might be. It's one thing not to believe it, but it's a whole other to say I never will. Just leave a little bit of that door open - just in case.
Just in case what? Just in case He really does want to help.
Want a better life? Don't give up on Jesus.
