Adrian Rogers: Why Did Jesus Choose Judas to Be A Disciple?

The name Judas is a name of infamy, disgrace, and treachery; yet Jesus chose Judas to be one of His twelve disciples. It was not a mistake, nor did Judas’ betrayal catch Jesus off guard. In this message, Adrian Rogers reveals why Jesus chose Judas.

A timely message even for today. But if Judas was never saved, how was he commissioned by Jesus to heal the sick and cast out demons with the other disciples?

[@donnabowman9059]

Good question!

[@jasoncanderson]

As the preacher says, "To fulfill scripture". I believe that God fulfills scripture to help strengthen our faith. My human heart, however, morns for Judas. My hope is that because the Bible doesn't specifically say that Judas is in hell, although certain verses could be interpreted as a hellish fate, that he is somehow redeemed by the Grace of Jesus. I pray for his soul.

[@antoinettemarie5837]

The Bible tells us that God uses vessels of dishonor and vessels of honor alike to show His glory (2 Tim 2:20-21). God uses honorable and dishonorable things to show His wrath and judgment. I believe the example of Judas was just that-an example and to be used to edify and rebuke true believers of Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:28-29 tells us that God uses the base and weak things of this world to confound the wise and uses the things that are despised in this world to bring Him glory. Ecclesiastes 12:13 tells us that the whole duty of man is to fear the Lord and to keep His commands. Fearing the Lord helps us to depart from evil (Prov 3:7). This is all to the salvation of the Church which is why Jude says (v22-23) that some are saved with compassion and others with fear because the fiery wrath of God is coming. All of this is to keep us alert and sober and to remain in the fear of the Lord and despising everything tainted with evil. Judas is an example to keep us sober and reminds us that if it weren’t for the blood of Christ we would all be condemned to that same horrifying fate of Judas.

Only a few will Jesus know. Most 'folks' will He not know in this world that lieth in wickedness. Like times of Noah and Lot will He return. Thank you Jesus. Rev 22:11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Matt 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

[@antoinettemarie5837]

Thank you for your comment! I have a push-back from John 13:10 that tells us that Judas in fact was not clean. Jesus said that not all were clean while Judas was present at the washing. But after Judas went out (John 13:30), Jesus then said that all who were present were clean (John 15:3) Jesus indeed loved all His disciples unto the end (John 13:1) which truly shows us how great and deep the compassion, mercy, and grace of our Lord is but Judas was in no wise clean and was a devil from the beginning (John 6:70). There will be many in the day of the Lord who will say that they did all these great and marvelous things in Christ’s name but the reality is that their hearts are far from Him (Matthew 15:8) and they are actually workers of iniquity-not righteousness (Luke 13:27).

Yes. Judas was instrumental in God's Plan for Salvation of humanity. Yes, Judas had the freedom to choose, after the betrayal happened and Jesus was sentenced to death on cross (not before that). He was assigned to betray so that Scripture may be fulfilled. But later, Judas had the choice to repent and come back to Jesus, like what Peter did. Then he also would definitely have been pardoned and saved. Great are teh ways of God. Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God".

[@RicHrt540]

I really love the question in the title of this sermon: Why did Jesus choose Judas as his disciple. Jesus said to his disciples 'you did not choose Me but I chose you (John 15 v16) And repeated in the next verse: I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last... in the beginning it is not likely that Jesus knew exactly who would betray Him as it is written only later in John 13 that he knew who it was and then only it says that 'satan entered into him.' So he still had a real choice in the final moment. Jesus then told him to 'do it quickly' and he 'immediately went out into the night'.. But at the beginning I do not think Jesus knew. There are more things that Jesus did not know, like when He would return to earth. (Mt 24 v30-36)

Jesus told Peter in Matthew 16:19 that he was given the keys to the kingdom of heaven and whatever he bound on earth would be bound in heaven and whatever he loosed on earth would be loosed in heaven which means what he said is NOT negotiable. Peter was asked by the people in Acts 2:37 what they needed to do to be SAVED. He responded in Acts 2:38-39, "Repent and be BAPTIZED every one of you in the NAME of Jesus Christ FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the PROMISE is unto you and to those that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Peter said in Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men whereby we must be Saved." Peter said in 1 Peter 3:21 "The like figure where unto even BAPTISM does also now save us....." It does so because it REMITS SIN - meaning the INITIAL remittance and not the confessing of sin later addressed in 1 John 1:9. Jesus said in John 3:7, "Marvel not that I said unto you, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN." That means that is NOT negotiable. He said in John 3:5, "Verily, verily I say unto you, Except a man be born of WATER, AND of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God." Being born of water is being Baptized in water in Jesus Name, being baptized with the Spirit is being baptized with the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit. Jesus said in Mark 16:16, "He that believes and is BAPTIZED shall be SAVED, but he that believes not shall be damned." At about that same time He said in Matthew 28:19, "Go therefore and teach all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name (Singular name and not names) OF the Father, and OF the Son, and OF the Holy Ghost." The book of Acts is the longest and most important book in the New Testament because all of it is what Jesus and His disciples said we must do to be Saved which is repentance, water baptism in Jesus NAME - Acts 2:38, Acts 8:14-18, Acts 8:38, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 16:15, Acts 16:33, Acts 18:7, Acts 18:8, Acts 18:3-5, And Acts 22:16.: And being baptized with the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit which is addressed in Mark 16:19 (Jesus speaking) Acts 2:4 (Pentecost) Acts 8:17, Acts 9:18, and Acts 10:44-48.There is not one Scripture that says a person receives the Holy Spirit just because they are a believer. Acts 19:1-5 is a good example. All of the above proves no one's sins are remitted just because they are a believer, no one is Saved just because they are a believer, no one receives the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit just because they are a believer, and no one is Born Again (John 3:3-7) just because they are a believer. Some say the Thief on the cross next to Jesus was not baptized yet Jesus told him he would be with him in paradise that day.. Jesus had not given the COMMANDMENT to be Baptized in His NAME until after He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. If you are convinced you need to get baptized in water in Jesus NAME, do a search, type in "United Pentecostal Church International", slightly scroll down to just below the red box, type in your zip code, then a screen will show a Church nearest you that will do that. If you do that you will be making SURE your name is written in the Lamb's Book Of Life. Jesus said in John 10:27, "My Sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me."

Judas proves that even with the irrefutable truth staring us right in the face we can still not see it, unless God intervenes opens our eyes and shows it to us.

But God gives everyone the opportunity to have their eyes opened.

The other Disciple's name was also called Judas, the brother of Jesus. Thus it's not the name which is the problem, it's the heart. The Judas story is very disturbing on one hand but at the same time very reassuring and comforting. We all have Judas's in our lives, hypocrites or backstabbers, those who look clean and respectable on the outside whom people love and respect and admire but who are evil and demon possessed on the inside capable of the most heinous crimes. Peter also betrayed Jesus, like all the other Disciple's as well, not once but three times yet there was one major difference between the two. Satan asked Jesus permission to sift Peter or to rough him up a bit, put him through some testing in order to build character which Jesus allowed. But with Judas, Satan did not first ask permission and entered into Judas, took possession of Judas. ‭‭John‬ ‭13:27‬ ‭AMP‬‬ [27] After [Judas had taken] the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly [without delay].” The true Children of GOD, the Devil cannot take possession of us and is merely used on the outside to test us. Judas was a nice guy, probably the most liked Disciple in the band, he was the money guy, the accountant who had access to money which he could give away to impress people, as he showed fake concern for the poor when Many annointed Jesus's feet with oil. But when he realised that this Kingdom of GOD was not as glamorous as first thought and that it would be disbanded by the death of Jesus on the cross, he decided to make his move and pull out while the going was still good and do a deal with the Elites in Jerusalem. The Judas story on the other hand is very reassuring to know that Jesus chose him, it was ordained, planned by GOD that Judas would be used to fullfill prophecy and the plan of GOD. It's called Predestination, every detail was planned to happen as it did, no surprises or l didn't see that one coming, all carefully and maticulously planned by GOD, nothing catches Him off guard.

True Man of God but the other Jude who's the brother of Jesus's role?

[@jessyjonas4988]

Peter showed that man is lost because of our choice. He got the opportunity to repent but chose not to. Peter showed godly sorrow but Judas worldly grief.

[@tongakhan230]

Judas was chosen by Jesus as one of the 12 Apostles.

Years ago I watched Adrian Roger’s sermon on TV( don’t remember the title:( - where he recited some VERY interesting ( and quite long)poem. I just remember that it was some comparison between Life with God and life with Satan. If someone knows the title of this sermon or have the text of this poem- can you PLEASE let me know- I tried to find on my own ( unsuccessfully:((( . Thanks.
