Judas is perhaps the most notorious villain in all of history. His betrayal of the Lord stands as the epitome of evil and treachery. And yet, Matthew 27:3 says that when Judas saw Jesus was condemned, he brought the silver he had been given back to the chief priests and said, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” Judas confessed his fault and appeared to be on the doorstep of repentance. But listen to the response of the Jewish leaders. They asked, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.”
Judas made his own decisions and bore the guilt of his sin. But the Jewish leaders demonstrated evil and uncaring hearts with their question. One of the worst questions we can ask is, “Why should I care?” Are we ready to listen to others and help them, sometimes even in difficult and uncomfortable situations, or are we like the Jewish leaders who ask, “What is that to us?” and send people away with no help?
