Why did Judas, the disciple, try to betray Jesus?

Why…🤔❓️
Why did Judas, the disciple, try to betray Jesus…😨
…The reason is not written in the Bible.
The explanation that Satan entered Judas is written in the Gospels of Luke and John.
…Judas was the treasurer for Jesus' group,
and he stole money from the purse.
…I believe Judas's fearlessness of God and his love of money destroyed the faith.
…Mark 14:21
…says…
“Woe to the man who betrays the Son of Man!”
…but the meaning of the original words includes lamentation and sorrow:
“Oh, how pitiful! 😭”

… "It would have been better if he had never been born…"…
That was the Lord's lament for Judas, who betrayed Jesus and handed his life over to Satan 😭
… Many people enter through the church gates…
But many people… leave through the exit where Satan is waiting 👿…
… The pastor… feels sorry for those who leave through the exit and his heart aches…
… If you don't clearly understand the relationship between Jesus' cross ✝️ and your sins…
… You won't realize that Satan is waiting at the exit.
… Do you… have clear ✝️ certainty that you are saved?

Shalom 😃
