We continue our Apostle talk series with, arguably the most famous of Jesus’ twelve disciples, Judas Iscariot. In this talk we look at how Judas’ expectation of Jesus’ purpose was in conflict with reality. Jesus’ intention and plan to bring the Kingdom of God into the world contrasted fundamentally with what Judas imagined it to be. As a result Judas attempted to control Jesus, which soon took a dark turn. Through Judas’ story, Richard challenges us to consider whether we currently have our own expectations of how God will and ‘should’ behave; and if we do, whether we are willing to let these go, trust in Jesus’ plans and follow him.
