The Blackest Page In the Scriptures -Matthew 26: 20-25
What a terrible passage here conveyed
showing how wicked is the human heart
allowing sin to overtake that person
leading them in Satan's hand in no small part
This is seen in the person of Judas Iscariot
a disciple that betrayed his master
one that made a profession of faith
his heart condition was a real disaster
Judas had privileges beyond many
a chosen apostle, companion of Christ
heard Jesus preach, witnessed his miracles
yet his heart unchanged, even by the sacrifice
For he indeed heard the gospel message
that repent from sin, that God would forgive
but he had a darling sin he'd not let go
money was his god for it he loved to live
Jesus words 'one of you shall betray me'
makes one ponder for no disciple spoke
the blackest page in the scriptures
for here shows Judas heart never broke
Let us observe these sober verses
to only be of a sound heart conversion
search me Lord and test my heart
that we truly not fall into desertion
(' When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve. And as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” Judas, who would betray him, answered, “Is it I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said so.”)
