About this episode

This episode explores the story of Judas Iscariot and the implications of betrayal among Jesus' disciples.

In today’s Bible study, we’re looking at Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Jesus. Even though none of the other disciples suspected Judas of being a fraud, Jesus knew it the entire time. And unfortunately, Judas represents a lot of supposed Christians. So in this episode, we’ll see Jesus call out this deceiver, His command to the disciples to love like He does, and how every disciple vowed not to forsake Jesus, even though they all did.
