Cautionary Tales: Judas

Judas Iscariot stands as one of Scripture’s most sobering warnings about spiritual misalignment. This study examines how proximity to Jesus does not guarantee faithfulness when the heart is governed by hidden sin, divided loyalty, and self-interest. Judas walked with Christ, heard His teaching, and witnessed His power, yet inward compromise led to outward betrayal. His life confronts us with a searching question: are we truly aligned with Christ in obedience and surrender, or merely close in appearance while drifting in heart?
