• Wiles speaks on Judas Iscariot. In Matthew 10, Jesus entrusts Judas, along with the other apostles, to preach and perform good works in His name. Judas serves as a warning to all who minister: no amount of preaching, evangelism, or miracles can guarantee salvation; believers’ confidence must rest solely in Christ. In Matthew 26, Judas reappears as he moves to betray Jesus, though his ultimate motive remains unknown. Wiles challenges listeners to consider what could lead them to abandon or betray Christ. During the Last Supper, Jesus demonstrates His foreknowledge of Judas’ betrayal, highlighting the personal and grievous nature of this act. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Judas identifies Jesus with a kiss, a false sign of friendship. The passage underscores both Jesus’ sovereign control and the mysterious interplay of God’s work and human choice, through which God brings redemption to the world. Matthew 27:1–10 describes Judas’ fate: having betrayed innocent blood, he chooses death rather than seeking God’s forgiveness. In purchasing the field, the Jewish leaders fulfill God’s word from Jeremiah. Wiles challenges listeners to reflect on the value they place on Jesus in their personal lives and ministry, and to remember the value that Jesus places upon them.
