Judas walked with Jesus for three years…
heard His teaching,
saw His miracles,
served in ministry,
and still died lost.
In this message from John 13, Pastor Jon Benzinger explains why Judas Iscariot is more than just the villain of the Easter story — he is a warning to every person who looks religious outwardly but has never truly surrendered to Christ.
This sermon explores:
• how Judas could appear saved while remaining spiritually dead
• why Jesus predicting His betrayal proves He is God
• the terrifying moment Satan enters Judas
• the difference between regret and real repentance
• how hypocrisy slowly hardens the heart
• why church activity alone cannot save you
If you’ve ever wondered:
“Could someone be close to Jesus and still be lost?”
or even:
“Could that be me?”
this sermon is for you.
