And today I am going to tell you the story of Judas
Judas the traitor hmmm I would like to know more about him come on let's begin with the story
Judas Iscariot was the son of a man called Simon and he lived in curios of Judah
in spite of being a disciple he was the traitor because of whom Jesus was put to the cross
he betrayed Jesus and broke his trust for 30 pieces of silver however the guilt of betrayal
eventually led him to kill himself Judas was one of the closest Disciples of Jesus
he was given the responsibility of being the treasurer unlike the other
disciples who were galileans Judas was a Judean as he came from Judea near Jericho
Judas was also one of the outspoken members who were quite prominent among all the 12 disciples
Judas loved his Nation with all his heart and always wanted to do something big
so he joined Jesus's band to fulfill his own nationalistic dreams and wishes
Judas would often take undue advantage of being the treasurer and take money from the common fund
for his own personal use Jesus knew and understood all of this but he never judged him for that
Judas betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of silver is of great mystery to people even now
it is difficult for people to see someone so close to Jesus who was a witness to so
many miracles and teachings of his master could ever betray him into the hands of his enemies
but it is not judas's betrayal that put Jesus on the cross it was our sins
later Matthias replaced Judas among the Twelve Disciples and he went to
places like the shores of the Caspian Sea and Cappadocia to spread the gospel
so that was the story of Judas the traitor I see so the lesson for today is we should not take
undue advantage of the power given to us and also not to be greedy like Judas well done freckles
the holy Tales today's story is about Philip okay
Philip was one of Jesus's disciples who preached in phrygia he is known to have died a martyr in
hierarapolis like Peter and Andrew Philip too came from the town of bethsaida and he
too probably was a Galilean fisherman Philip's name comes to life in the Gospel of John even
though his name was recorded in the first three gospels the Gospel of John tells us that Philip
was one of the first to whom Jesus addressed the words follow me when Philip met Christ for the
first time he said to Nathaniel we have found him of whom Moses and the prophets did right
Nathaniel was skeptical about following Jesus but Philip was not not even once
he was known not to have a skeptic mind he was simple and had Abundant Faith In Christ
Philip was a man with a warm and loving heart he wanted to do a lot of things for others and help
them but he did not understand or see how it could be done it is said that Philip died by hanging and
before he died he requested his body to be wrapped in papers and not in linen like Jesus because he
thought his body was not worthy of getting treated in the same way as his Lord his Apostolic symbol
is a basket and most importantly it was Philip who had stressed the cross as the sign of Christianity
and victory well that was a nice story so it is because Philip that we have the cross as the
sign of Christianity yes the holy Tales today's Parable is the last sheep long time ago there
lived a Shepherd who had a flock of hundred sheep heard loved all his sheep very dearly and was very
fond of each and every one of them he loved them so much that he even named them every night before
going to sleep he would count all his sheep to make sure that all hundred sheep were there
every day the shepherd would take his sheep to large green fields where they could eat fresh
grass and would also take them to freshwater streams so that they could have a nice drink
when they were thirsty when the shepherd took his sheep to the fields he was always alert of the
dangerous animals like lions and bears who would often come to attack or hurt them but the shepherd
was very careful and very protective of his sheep and would chase away the dangerous animals
one day when the shepherd took his sheep out in the field one of the sheep wandered away
when the shepherd counted his sheep he found only 99. he was frightened he called out for
the Sheep by his name but the Sheep did not return he frantically looked for the Sheep
below the deep valley and behind the bushes he was nowhere to be found the shepherd was very sad
he sat down on a rock and cried for his missing sheep when he suddenly heard a bleeding he looked
around and saw his lost cheap walking towards him the shepherd ran to the sheep and picked him up
in his arms he was very very happy with all his hundred sheep the shepherd came back home [Music]
the story was nice but did you understand the meaning of it
of course I did this Parable means that each and every single person is important in God's
heaven no one person is most important all least important God loves everyone equally
well done tubby that's exactly what Jesus tried to explain to his followers through the story
