What To Do With A Liar, Cheat and Thief
Jesus, God in the flesh, embraced Judas -- a liar, cheat and thief. Jesus welcomed him into a relationship with those closest to him. He did not simply tolerate him or shun him or treat him less than others. He actually gave him responsibility knowing he couldn't be trusted -- that's crazy love. Jesus modeled grace, love and redemption -- he believed Judas could be all that God planned for him to be. Unfortunately Judas finally made the decision to leave and forsake what Jesus offered him and was consumed by his own sinful choices -- too often this story is repeated. Will you love like Jesus and will you receive the love of Jesus? Maybe the next 'Judas' is sitting around your table and your godly love can impact them.
