Heard a theory last week that Judas betrayed Jesus in order to provoke him to foment a revolution against the Romans. Judas truly believed that Jesus was the messiah, but he misunderstood what that messiah came to do.

It's no wonder he was named Judas, he was following in the footsteps of his eponym, Judas Maccabeus. The fact that Judas is now seen as the basically worst person in history has probably prevented numerous revolutions in its own right.

Revolution is not the way to freedom, freedom comes through submission to the King.
