How sad was the ending of Judas! He saw Jesus convicted and he regretted what he did, but it was already too late. He returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders, but they were unmoved. When devil Satan entices us to commit a sin, he will use all kinds of sweet talk to trick us into his wicked sins. However, after we commit a sin and start to regret, devil shows no sympathy for us; instead, he will accuse us just like the chief priest here.

We often live in a state of regret and then discover it too late. Many times, men who are husbands would come and tell us that their wives wanted a divorce, but they had no idea why. After talking to them, we found out that, in the past, the husbands had spent too much time at work, and neglected their family, wife, and children. When they found out that their wives are leaving them, they tried to redeem themselves, but they were often too late. When the career of Elvis Presley was at its peak, he was surprised that his wife wanted a divorce because he spent every day in performances and neglected her. After his wife left him, Elvis' career started went downhill. He started doing drugs and getting drunk. Then he wrote a song, "You are always in my mind", regretting the parting of his wife. He wanted things to be back the way they were, but it was already too late.

May God give us a fervent heart! In every opportunity, let us grasp the blessings God gives us so that we will not live in a state of regret. Judas regretted, so he went out and hung himself. His bad decision brought a sad ending of his life. May God give us wisdom to walk with the Lord every day, and let us resist all temptations from the enemy and experience God's blessings!
