Money, Money, Money

“Then leaning back on Jesus,’ breast, he said to him, “Lord who is it?” Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, he gave it o Judas Iscariot, he son of Simon. Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him” (John 13:23-27).

Judas had been living a dishonest life (John 12:6). He loved money. It consumed him to the point of being willing to betray anyone, even the Savior. It was only after a lifetime of deceit and betrayal that Satan changed from influencing Judas to actually entering into him. When that happened he led Judas to his death (Mt 27:5).

There is a way that seems right unto a man, but that way leads to death (Proverbs 14:12).
