Judas' betrayal started as a sinful plan in his heart. His sin led him to actually betray Jesus and turn him over to the religious authorities for thirty pieces of silver.
His sinful thought led to a heinous sinful action. But after the betrayal, his remorse led him to hang himself. He served evil and in the end was consumed by evil.
This lesson focuses on Marks recounting of the betrayal of Jesus and gives four ways Judas' story can apply to us.

Resurrection, Commission, And Ascension
January 8, 2020 • Pastor Chad Thompson
This last chapter of Mark wraps up with Jesus' resurrection from the tomb, His commission to His church to preach the gospel to every person, and His ascension to heaven where He began His High Priestly work of interceding and advocating on the behalf of believers.
A Story Worth Telling

Unfortunately there was a recording malfunction. There is no recording of this lesson. Bottom line: The resurrection of Jesus is a story worth telling. The women who came to the grave on Sunday morning found Jesus' body gone and an angel sitting in the tomb. They were very afraid but were given the command to go and tell that Jesus is alive! They overcame their fears and told the news that was simply too good not to be shared. How about us? Shouldn't we do the same, i.e. overcome our perceived fears and tell the news that is simply too good not to be shared.
Jesus' Crucifixion

This study is a detailed account of Jesus' condemnation, scourging, mocking, and crucifixion. Barabbas was set free, while Jesus took what was no doubt meant to be his cross. In a much greater way, Jesus took our cross. He is our substitute. We can truly say, "He died for me."
