Wish GOOD for those HARM you;
WISH them well and do not CURSE them.
Romans 12:14
It would hard to find someone worse than judas. Some say he was a good man with a backfired strategy. I don’t buy that. The Bible says, “Judas… was a thief” (John 12:6). The man was a crook. Somehow he was able to live in the presence of GOD and experience the miracles of CHRIST and remain unchanged. In the end he decided he’d rather have money than a friend, so he sold JESUS for thirty pieces of silver… JUDAS was a scoundrel, a cheat, and a bum. How could anyone see him any other way?
I don’t know, but JESUS did. Only inches from the face of his betrayer, Jesus looked at him and said, “friend, do what you came to do” (Matt. 26:50). What jesus saw in jesus as worthy of being called a friend, I can’t imagine. But I do know that Jesus doesn’t lie, and in the moment he saw something good in a very bad man…
He can HELP us do the same with those who HURT us.
