We are walking with Jesus to the cross.

1

At the last Supper Jesus revealed what He knew all along. Judas Iscariot would betray Him to His enemies

2

Exit: Judas Iscariot

3

Jesus practiced what He preached. “Do not throw pearls before pigs”4

Pearls of truthPigs don’t appreciate pearls or truth

Matthew 7:6Matthew 7:6

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.”

Judas Iscariot had been with Jesus, the Son of God, for 3 ½ years!

1. He never saw Jesus sin2. He saw His kindness3. He saw miracles4. He heard His words5. He was “enlightened”6. He tasted the power7. He saw demon

possessed people set at liberty

8. He was treasurer and regularly stole from it

9. He lied and said he gave to the poor

10. He dreamed he would handle big money in Christ’s Kingdom

11. When he realized Jesus was not going to be King, he turned his back, permanently

Jesus had some wonderful “pearls of truth” that He did not share until Judas Iscariot was gone from the group

Why? They cannot SEE Him
