Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
...Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and WILL EXPOSE THE MOTIVES OF MEN'S HEARTS. At that time each will receive his praise from God. Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “DO NOT GO BEYOND WHAT IS WRITTEN.” Then you will not take pride in one man over against another. For WHO MAKES YOU DIFFERENT FROM ANYONE ELSE? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, WHY DO YOU BOAST as though you did not? Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich! YOU HAVE BECOME KINGS—and that WITHOUT US! How I wish that you really had become kings so that we might be kings with you! 1 Corinthians 4:5-8
...God had planned something better for us so that only TOGETHER WITH US WOULD THEY BE MADE PERFECT. Hebrews 11:40
Judas was made an EXAMPLE of how people would betray Jesus by this wicked generation...GREED, LAWLESSNESS and UNBELIEF... ( see 2 timothy 3:1-5) contrary to the EXAMPLES that Jesus has set for us to follow...TO WALK IN LOVE (1 John 2:6 & 2 John 1:6
Why Judas?
If he did not do what was prophecied then prophecy would have failed and put God into shame which is IMPOSSIBLE.
If not Judas then God can pick anyone else to do that role but HE WAS CHOSEN for that role.
...For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. Romans 9:15,17-18
Is God unjust that after making you do a job he purposed you to do then He will just leave you unpaid?
The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard
...“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. “About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ So they went. “He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’ “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’ “The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. ‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’ “But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’ “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
Matthew 20:1-16
Another thing to consider, Judas was deceived by the devil just as Eve was deceived.
So don't let anyone DECEIVE you.
