John Hatcher's picture

John Hatcher's picture

Media types at this time of the year are always coming up with some sort of purported new slant on an old story. At this Easter season, they talk about Judas. From some questionable documents uncovered several years ago in Egypt and now just coming to public attention, Jesus directed Judas to do what he did: betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Judas was just carrying out orders previously given to him by Jesus. If that were the case, we would all start naming our boys Judas in addition to Peter, James, and John.
