Hello and welcome to the Truth Seekers podcast.

A Truth Seeker is someone who wants to know the truth.

They search for what's true and they won't rest until they find it.

I am a truth seeker, and if you are too, then you've come to the right place where we will search for truth each week in the stories of the Bible.

Not much is known about what Jesus did on this day so many years ago.

Possibly he rested and prayed, knowing what was about to come.

We do know that one of his very own disciples, Judas Ascariot, was in preparation

to betray him. Can you say, betray? Do you know what it means to betray someone? When you betray someone,

you expose them to danger. It's the opposite of protecting someone or being loyal to someone. When you betray someone, you take information that was trusted to you and you hand it over to their enemy. It would be like if you shared a secret with your best friend and trusted your friend

to keep your secret, but instead your friend shared your secret with others who meant

to hurt you.

Can you imagine how that would feel to be betrayed by a close friend Judas Iscariot was one of

Jesus close friends he was one of the 12 disciples who had spent three years traveling with

learning from and doing ministry with Jesus Jesus had trusted Judas with his friendship.

But something inside of Judas began to change. Somewhere along the way, Judas began to listen to the

lies of the enemy. I wonder if Satan began to whisper lies in the ears of Judas that said,

this Jesus you follow is no king?

He is not the Messiah.

He is weak and powerless.

He cannot save you.

He cannot save anyone.
