Why Did Judas Betray Jesus?

simply put, due to his ego's misinterpretation,

Judas wanted to put Jesus on the spot to do what Judas wanted,

 

Judas wanted Jesus to become King of the Jews,

 

but Jesus wanted to show that,

since we are not the body, but spirit,

it is better to sacrifice the body

via the path of non-resistance, non-violence,

and forgiveness

 

to all those who did not understand Jesus

and therefore opposed him, Jesus said

" forgive them Father, for they know not what they are doing "

 

in a similar manner, Amma forgave the man who tried to kill her

 

Om Namah Sivaya,

amarnath

 

PS ~ it seems many of the early Christians followed Jesus's example

of non-violence

 

later when Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity,

it seems he converted Christianity to militarism

and out the window went Christ's teachings on non-violence

and even the Popes had their own armies

sad but true !
