where is gumbo and freckles here we are come on let's go to
Holly it's story time Holly it's time for you to tell us a
story about another one of Jesus's disciples yes and today I am going to
tell you the story of Judas. Judas the traitor hmm 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 curio of judah inspite 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 thirty pieces of silver however the guilt of betrayal eventually
led him to kill himself Judas was one of the closest disciples
of Jesus and he was given the responsibility of being the treasurer
unlike the other disciples who were galilaeans 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 twelve 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 thirty 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 undew advantage of the power given to us and also not to be
greedy like judas well done freckles I have already thought about the story that I'm going
to tell you today but you do remember that you have to answer one question at
the end and I listen carefully sure you can gumbo
So what is todays story about today's story is about two
disciples who were chosen to help Barnabas and Paul to spread Christianity
all right so by this time many people had converted to Christianity began to
follow Jesus and his teachings the church grew bigger and bigger of a time
yes the church grew it was felt that Paul and Barnabas the two very good
followers of Jesus would need more helpers so two disciples called Silas
and Judas bar siddhis but chosen both were very important members of the
church and what excellent speakers one day Paul and Barnabas along with Silas
and Judas set off on their journey towards a place called Antioch they took
with them a letter from the church but they felt sorry about the arguments and
disagreements that they had over the people called pagans pagans for people
who were not Jews and who were converted to Christianity
when the four of them reached Antioch Judas and Silas both addressed the
entire Christian community they strengthened their hope and faith in
their new religion they also provided them with help and encouragement the
Christians who had gathered were very happy hearing the speech soon it was
time for them to part ways Paul chose Silas to go along with him on his journey into
Syria and Cecelia they together visited many communities and places where new
Christians live providing them hope and help that was a nice story Thank You tabby now for today's
question why did the chicken cross the street I don't know
because he want to get to the other side that is
funny gumbo but it has no connection with the story
so what do you want to do on this lovely day listen to a story
from the Bible do tell us one that sounds perfect I will tell you one
but you have to listen to me carefully yes we will holy alright then today's story is about
Judas the Feast of the Passover was coming close Jesus and his followers
traveled to Jerusalem and stopped at the village of Beth
they stayed in the house of their friends Martha and Mary and their
brother Lazarus Jesus had before given Lazarus back his life that evening they
sat down to have dinner served by Martha during the meal Mary came in with a jar
of expensive perfumed oil she bent down in front of Jesus and
poured the oil on his feet she then wiped the oil away with her hair the air
was filled with the smell of the oil Judas Iscariot the follower who looked
after the fund of money said what a waste Oh should have been sold and the
money should have been given to the poor Judas did not say this because he cared
for the poor but because he himself often stole money from the fund jesus
said leave her alone when she washed my feet she was preparing me for my burial
there will always be poor people but i will not always be with you Judas was
angry that Jesus scolded him and left the house he wanted to betray Jesus so
he went to the priests they were happy and promised to give Judas money to get
Jesus arrested Judas agreed and started looking for a chance to betray Jesus
oh god what is going to happen now holy
don't be scared freckles all will be good now my question kids what did Mary
pour on Jesus's feet oil perfumed oil that's right
hi holy do tell us another story from the bible all right I will tell you the story of how
Judas felt sorry bad thing that he did long long time ago
Jesus wasn't Gethsemane in a garden with James Peter and John Judas who was also
one of his disciples had plotted a blame of theft against Jesus for thirty pieces
of silver Jesus would feel that he would soon be betrayed by someone very close
to him Judas went up to Jesus and kissed him and got him falsely arrested for
stealing the temples Treasury it was soon decided that Jesus would
have to be put to death because of the crime that Judas had made up against him
as soon as Judas heard the final decision he was filled with guilt for
whatever he had done he had never meant for Jesus to die he betrayed Jesus
because of his greed but now he felt sorry for what he had done
the next morning Judas went to the priests with a bag of thirty silver
coins that they had given him for betraying Jesus on entering the temple
he said I have made a big mistake please do not kill Jesus he's not guilty
the priest did not listen to what he said they said we have no reason to worry
problem and as for Jesus he must be put to death that is the final decision
horrified at what was happening Judas threw the coins on the floor and walked
out Judas was full of guilt the priest collected the money and used it to buy a
potter's land and use the land as a graveyard for foreigners now let me see
if you listen to the story I just told you how much did Judas get paid to
betray Jesus for only 30 pieces of silver absolutely
gumbo you need to pay more attention
sorry holy just it felt so bad for Jesus and i got distracted that's all right I
am sure that you will pay attention next time okay bye Holy we shall see you
soon for another story five children
