Judas

Read about Judas Iscariot this morning.  Not super joyful, but powerful.

He didn't lose his relationship with Jesus; rather, he never found Jesus in the first place.  He is called "doomed to destruction" because he was never saved.

While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.  John 17:12

I don't know what God's plan is for me but, I am driven to share Jesus' message of forgiveness, hope, and eternal life.  It's His free gift available for everyone, and there shouldn't be a soul lost because they have not heard. 

Lord, thank you for another day and all of the opportunity that it will bring to share the Good News.  Help me be bold and obedient to You.  In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, amen.
