Who Is Afraid of Judas Iscariot?

Judas perished because he was so faithful in the coming of external Kingdom of Heaven that he ignored the Inner Kingdom. Perhaps, so are we.

Judas was not a Satan’s agent.
Neither was he a hero
Who helped Jesus complete his mission.
He just saw a superhero in Jesus
And wanted him to expel the wicked Romans
With Jehovah’s mighty superpower.

He was just one of us
Who long for the external Kingdom of Heaven.
He was just like the people
Who cheered at Hitler, Stalin or Mao,
Longing for the Heaven on Earth.

His end was tragic
Not because he was a betrayer
But because he was so faithful
In the coming of the Outer Kingdom
That he ignored the Inner Kingdom
Which had always been so close to him.

Why do we hate Judas?
It’s because what we see in him
Is just the reflection of our stupid selves.

Judas was just like one of us
Who cheer at Batman or Power Puff Girls
In the lazy hope for superficial peace and justice.

So I want Judas to rest in peace.
He was not evil but just far from enlightenment
Just like all of us…
