Is Judas, The Betrayer Or The Betrayed?

            What we say or do is the decision we make at the nick of time, whether it strikes right or backfires is another matter. No matter, what the decision, the choice we make solely depends on the circumstance we are in, but is it right to blame the circumstance, when the key to the lock, is solely with us?

            Never blame people or circumstance, which have been made solely for us, to channelize our destination or is it destiny? I’d like to say an incident, which has always made me think, the unfairness of the circumstances. When Judas betrayed Jesus, we all thought, “If Judas had not kissed Jesus, He would not have died. But is it really true? The whole Jerusalem shouted in one voice, “Kill Him!!!”, except for a few. Then we could have blamed the people, Pontius Pilate, Pharasees, but whatever we do, the end came to Jesus, “Death on the Cross”. But Why?

            Its Simple, “Jesus had come to Earth to be the sacrificial lamb to rebridge the connection with God and man.” That’s all. So He had to die, a lowly death, a humiliating death and the first spark was set from Judas. So Judas did a service to God. So naturally Judas has to be thanked, right? If he had not been there, the word of God would not have been fulfilled. But another apostle, Peter too did the same mistake of openly denying that he ever knew Jesus, Which too was a sort of betraying, don't you think? Then why this unfairness to Judas? 

Well, the sad part is, Judas was destined to be the betrayer, because he killed himself when God gave the wisdom to understand that he had made a mistake, and the last act stuck on him - the betrayer, while at the same time Peter repented, from the very heart, and the end result, Peter was enthroned to the highest position in the eyes of God and the designation of "The Rock". So now you know, why Judas became a "Betrayer". 

            So what did we learn from this incident? we can say that we can make any sort of decision, it might be right or wrong, but if we have made a mistake, we can either rectify it and live happily or go without rectifying it and live a miserable life. The choice is ours. That is when we say, Take the Right Decision”. Never blame the circumstance or the people leading us to take the wrong decision,  thank them for being there for us,  because God gives another opportunity to clear it. So better grab it or else, you'd miss the stop. The Son of God too had to go through much more harrowing experience than we are going through, so at least we can thank God, we have been literally saved. So before concluding, let me rewrite the old saying as thus,

"To Err is Human, But To Rectify it is Divine".
