Hi, I'm your host, Francie Taylor from Keep the Heart, and we're doing something a little different

here today because it's leading up to Resurrection Sunday. I wonder if you have the same

habit that I have of reading through the Gospels and looking at the accounts, not only of the

death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, but even the events leading up to it. Today's episode,

we're going to look at Luke chapter 22, and it's got an amazing 71 verses. I'm going to read

through this chapter, but I'm also going to make commentary throughout. There are some things

we don't want to miss.

Welcome to Keep the Heart podcast with Francie Taylor.

Now back to today's valuable study.

I'm going to go through the verses starting at Luke 22, verse 1, and every now and then I'm

going to pause and just make some commentary about the passages. Luke chapter 22 starting at verse one.

Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover, and the chief

priests and scribes sought how they might kill him, for they feared the people. Then entered Satan

into Judas, surnamed Ascariot, being of the number of the 12.

And he went his way and communed with the chief priests and captains how he might betray him

unto them. And they were glad and covenanted to give him money. And he promised and sought

opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

Now here's where we have Judas setting Jesus up. But before Judas did this, it's so significant that

we not miss verse 3 where it says, then entered Satan into Judas. Judas was wide open and unguarded. Judas may have been a follower but not a

believer. I can never think about Judas without wondering about his parents. All people come from

somebody. A person can have a fantastic upbringing and still turn their back on God because they don't know the value of what they have.
