Well, listen, if the United States and the Christians don't hold on to the Bible, you're going to be trembling and the devil is going to have you. This is the only foundation that we Christians have, which is the Bible. This is not a very good message that makes us feel good, but directly from God. Because the Gospel of Matthew, in the midst of Jesus Christ, who was being mistreated, Judas had to kill himself because he regretted it, but he didn't regret it, he just saw that he had done something bad. There's a lot of things in chapter 4 in particular, it's very good, what we're going to see. Judas says, I have sinned. Judas said, I have sinned. We're going to see that in Matthew 27, chapter 4. Another language of several people, seven said, I have sinned, and only two of those seven are saved. The others did not repent. This is a very good message, which is in Matthew 27, from 1 to 10. Let's go to the end of Judas. That's what we're going to see. Let's see, in Matthew 27, one says, Come in the morning, all the leaders. If you see, as they were, everything was Thursday afternoon, they were in the garden. Judas brings the people to arrest Jesus Christ and they go directly from there, from the night session of the religious Pharisees, Sadducees, and Sanhedrin. that it's illegal and that they find Jesus guilty of blasphemy and they want to crucify him. That's where we are. It says, come in the morning, all the leaders. These people didn't go to bed until they were arrested. They have this session in the morning, the religious, and what they do that morning is to confirm what happened illegally at night. And that's why it's given to Pilate. Let's look at Matthew 27, verse 1. In the morning all the chief priests and the elders of the town went to the council against Jesus to give him to death, and they tied him up and gave him to Pontius Pilate, the ruler. Then Judas, who had given him, seeing that he was condemned, He returned the 30 pieces of silver to the main priests and the elders. He repented of what he had done because they had condemned him to death. I have sinned by giving innocent blood, but they said, this is very strong, what you can imagine. And Judas says, I have sinned by betraying innocent blood. He realized that he was remorseful. And look at what he said to the religious. This man has no fault. This is innocent. And let's see this. And I want you to look at the five. And the religious said, what? What about us? That's your problem. That's a very strong scripture, where it says, what do we care about? You go there. It's your problem, Judas, they said to him. You go there. And throwing the silver pieces in the temple, he came out and hanged himself. The main priests were taking the silver coins. Do you remember? Where did this money come from? From betrayal. They said, it is not legal to throw them in the treasury of the offering because it is the price of blood. And after consulting with them, they bought the field of the Alfarero to bury the foreigners. That's why the field is called, to this day, the field of blood. That's how it was fulfilled by the prophet Jeremiah. cuando dijo y tomaron las 30 piezas de plata y precio del apreciado según precio puesto por hijo de israel y las dieron para el campo del alfarero como me ordenó el señor señor en nombre de jesucristo te pido por tu espíritu prediquemos esta palabra exactamente como tú lo deseas que tú nos des forma de entender y que Vidas por mí, por tu espíritu, y por la palabra tuya, haz conmigo lo que tú desees con tu gente para la salvación de tus almas. Almas, señor. Todo la gente de Dios dice amén. Estamos en el 27. Eso viene después del 20. Último capítulo de Mateo. We're going to be a few more times, we're going to finish this book. In chapter 27, it begins with those who gave Jesus to the Gentiles, to Pilate, who was the governor of the province. Now, I want you to know that Jesus himself prophesied in chapter 20 that this was going to happen. He also prophesied this. Many people call him a prophet, but they don't believe. Matthew 28, 18, 19. Here we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be given to the main priests and the scribes, and they will condemn him to death. But to the religious, y le entregarán a los gentiles para que le escarnezcan, le azoten y le crucifiquen, mas al tercer día resucitará. Estas son palabras de Jesús profetizando lo que iba a pasar. Ahora, Jesús iba a ser traicionado por los escribas y fariseos y los sacerdotes, los que enseñaban la ley, los religiosos que enseñaban la ley. They were the ones who were going to betray him. They were going to condemn him to death and hand him over to the gentiles to be crucified. Because the religious did not have the authority to put someone to death. On the third day he was going to be raised. Blessed be God. He is not in the tomb. levantado estuvo 40 días aquí fue al cielo y pidiendo por los el servicio intercediendo por nosotros los que tienen tormenta aquí en Arkansas y en Texas y en Missouri. Él pide por todos para que cuando él venga va a poner término a todas estas cosas y poner su reino aquí. Mateo es el único evangelio after he was handed over to Pilate, he began to see this. Judas, we saw this, we saw a little more of this, the faith of Judas. He must teach us what happened to him. We must learn from him. Remember this. I've been in my mind. I want you to take this. Charles Pershing says we need to be suspicious of ourselves. As Peter would say, I wouldn't do it that way. But if we are not careful, we can do exactly what Judas did. We must be suspicious of our actions. I want you to look at this. I want you to know that Judas had many privileges. He was with Jesus for three years. Those privileges are not ordinary, but those privileges No porque tu mamá y tu papá estén bien con Dios, no quiere decir que tú estés bien con Dios. Y si vas con los buenos, no quiere decir que tú seas bueno. Mantén esto en mente. Debes estar junto con la gente buena. Esto me admira, que la gente puede venir semana tras semana, o ir a una iglesia, escuchar buenos sermones, y terminar perdiéndose a Jesucristo. It's admirable that these Jews, who knew everything about the Old Testament, lost Jesus. I want to tell you, you don't want to lose Jesus. You don't want to lose who Jesus is and what he did and what he's doing for you. These people had many privileges. y estaban en buen lugar, pero se perdieron al salvador del mundo. Esa es posibilidad ahorita. Es una realidad. Si tú te pierdes a Jesucristo como el salvador del mundo, el que viene como rey, que es salvador del mundo, y nunca lo tomas, que sea tu dios, tú también vas a morir. We know what Judas, the problem of Judas, he was ambitious. He had love for money. I want to tell you what else he teaches us. There is no hope for those who do not know Jesus, who are not saved. There is no hope for them in heaven. With this in mind, I want to move forward. I was thinking of something. So why should we pause for just a moment here? Because it's important for you that you are safe. You know why? Because you need to know that you're safe. Because if you're not safe, you're going to be forever. No, not a few years. You're going to be forever in hell. foreign foreign 2 Corinthians 13, 5. If you are in the faith, examine yourselves, test yourselves, or do not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are reproved. Do you know what it says there? Did you hear it again and again? There is evidence that God Jesus Christ, through his Spirit, lives in you. Quiero decirte, si Dios Todopoderoso vive en ti, va a haber evidencias que está cambiando tu vida, especialmente personalmente. has been a big change in your life. And the third, according to Peter 1.10.11, so brothers, try to be firm in your vocation and choice, because by doing these things, you will never fall. I want to tell you, parents, for a minute, it is your responsibility So you know how to pray for them. You need to do this. To confirm you're calling an election, you can listen to it. Listen carefully. You really need to listen to it. Because in this way, there are things that you can do to help your spiritual path. And he says how to do it. You have to do these things. And let's see it. Because in this way, you will be granted a broad and generous entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Asegurate que eres salvo, que tú eres salvo. No vayas a tu cama sin saber que eres salvo. Háblale a Jesucristo, debes entender. Judas no hizo lo que Jesucristo le enseñó. Hay mucha gente que admite muchas cosas, pero no pertenecen a Jesucristo. Let's look at the text a little closer. In the morning, all the main priests and the elders of the people entered the council against Jesus to hand him over to death. And they tied him up and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the governor. The religious officially spoke about it, agreed to hand him over a Jesucristo ya decidieron a condenarlo a muerte. Espero que te de algo más y te voy a decir un poco mejor. Lo que hacían públicamente en el día era que trataban de cubrir lo que habían hecho una noche antes. Everything they did at night was against all the Jewish laws, all the laws that were in the word of God. It was probably a large group and the whole council got together to agree on this. The Jews had no authority to condemn someone to death. were of the religious to the Roman government, which could give the death penalty. It's the only one that could sentence him to death. At that time, Judas came and Matthew shows what Judas had done and what he did. Judas arrived there and heard what was happening. And what did he hear? Jesus is going to be killed. Up until that time, Judas probably didn't know that he was going to be killed. But now he realizes. And he realizes that Jesus was going to die. And he regretted what he had done. He regretted what he had done. because he had remorse, because he knew what kind of man Jesus Christ was, and he knew that he was not guilty, and he knew that he did not deserve death. And that's why he had remorse. Now, Lewis got me started, you know, deeper and further, and he said, Si tienen interés de algún día ser pastor o algo así como líder en la iglesia, deben aprender estudiantes de las lenguas. Cuarenta y dos o cuarenta y cuatro horas tengo de estudio en hebreo y en griego. Judas had remorse, and he repented of what he had done, but he did not use the word, that he repented of his heart, or he repented of his action, but he did not ask for forgiveness. No. Peter did not use the word that he had truly repented. He repented of his actions, but he did not repent of what he had caused. It's a regret that he had surrendered to Jesus, but he did not use the word that was not a regret of the heart, but of action. Peter truly repented. How do we know that he truly repented after he was broken? Who did he go to find? He went to Jesus Christ. He came back and when Jesus had been resurrected and went to Galilee, he also went there to find him. Peter truly repented. He saw Jesus. Judah never repented. If he had repented, he would have sought Jesus. Jesus was unjustly and illegally condemned, and they made a way to kill him, as if they were afraid that he would have been saved by someone. In the Jewish law, also in the law that is here, there must be two witnesses. If there was a death penalty or execution, in this, There should have been three days to wait for a person to be executed. Because that was the case. In case there was a witness who came to clear the guilt. That was in the law. But what happened? Here the man who came and said, this man is not guilty of what you are blaming him for. Judas clearly said this, but he had already been condemned. He was handed over to Pilate to be crucified. It's interesting if they had done it at this time. But what they did, what Why did they put him to death? They were afraid that something was going to happen. Juan 1831. Judge him by his law. And the Jews said, it's not good to put us, nobody, to death. They had already, because of their hatred, they had already broken all their law. and now they were breaking another one. It was also the day of Easter. That's why they didn't want to be there condemning him at that time. When they were advised to hand him over to death, Matthew Poole, they said, These people didn't have a problem, on Thursday afternoon, eating Easter. Do you know what they did the rest of the night? Think about it. They had the Easter meal, good spiritual experience, but the rest of the night, they had an illegal meeting, looking to kill an innocent man. But now they are worried about not being able to go to Easter, to go to the rest of the party, because they had done the wrong thing. And that's why they put Pilate in third place. So Judas, the one who had given it to him, seeing that he was condemned, returned the 30 pieces of silver to the main priests of the elders, saying, I have sinned by giving innocent blood. This is the one who brought the authorities to Jesus Christ. And now he says he is innocent. But they said, what do we care? There you, what man with integrity would have said this? ¿Qué están diciendo ellos aquí? ¿Hicieron algo? ¿Así? No. Siguieron adelante. Y le dijeron, allá tú. Y arrojando las piezas de plata en el templo salió y se fue y se ahorcó. Judas says, I have sinned by giving innocent blood. They should learn this. All repentance is not repentance of salvation. What does it say? I sinned. Repentance I would say, I would not say, but I should have done. He didn't have the heart to humiliate himself and ask for forgiveness. He didn't look for the way to look for Jesus or to go to Jesus. He had the heart to defend him. In verse 4 it says, They took him out of there, but now they don't put him in the treasury because they're worried about what's going on outside and not about Judas or the truth that they had blamed an innocent man. These religious leaders were breaking all the rules and laws of this. So they can also be religious to this day. y fue y se ahorcó. El diablo entró en su corazón para tentarlo, para vender a Jesús, y ahora el diablo busca para poner final a esa vida miserable que él tenía, colgándose. In verse 6, it says, the main priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, it is not lawful to put them in the treasure of the offerings, because it is the price of blood. The word of God prohibits using this type of money in the treasure of the temple. Deuteronomy 23, verse 18, you will not bring the payment of a ram or the price of a dog to the house of Jehovah your God by any vote. Because abomination to Jehovah your God, both one and the other, they saw that this money had been dirty. Now they are looking to give this money and now they don't want to put it in the treasure if they had already taken it out of the treasure. And after consulting, they buy El campo del alfarero para sepultar a los extranjeros por lo cual aquel campo se llama hasta este día de hoy campo de sangre y así se cumplió lo dicho por el profeta Jeremías cuando dijo y tomaron las 30 piezas de plata precio del apreciado según precio puesto por los siglos de Israel y las dieron para el campo del alfarero como Me ordenó el señor el pedro estaba ya fuera y el sirviente le dijo tú también eras con jesús el galileo Pero él lo negó y dijo no sé de lo que tú estás hablando Quiero que mires que estas dos personas Trataban de saber qué van a hacer con ese dinero y qué hicieron decidieron comprar un Terreno, un lugar donde pudieran enterrar a cosas, a personas que no eran judios. Este lugar era como terreno de barro, donde sacaban barro para hacer cosas. And it was bought for this. It's what it says here. In this purchase by the priests, it is still called here, this day, the place of blood. What we are talking about this morning, we have two problems here. Until I studied this, I didn't really know that there were problems. When you see the scripture and read the scripture and look at the word, it is spoken by Jeremias. This comes from the word of Jeremias. This word that Jeremias spoke does not come from the book of Jeremias. What are we going to do with this? We have another problem. Matthew says that he went and hung himself. And we realize from the writing of Luke that he hung himself, his body fell and opened. We see that there are several different things. Hechos 1.18, about hanging himself. And he hung himself. In Matthew, it says this, simply. And we realize how it looks. But in the book of Hechos 1.18, it says, this one, with the salary of his iniquity, acquired a field, and falling on his head, he burst in half, and all his guts spilled out. ¿Cómo vemos lo que Mateo dice junto con lo que Lucas dice? Vamos a ver esto. Normalmente dice que se cayó del lugar donde se colgó y con la caída se reventó. Otros dicen que el diablo en verdad lo ahorcó y lo echó hacia abajo. Otros dicen que fue sofocado por alguna tipo de de el diablo que hay utilizado. Mateo dice, y otro donde dice que él fue y se ahorcó únicamente y se inflamó y se cayó y fue cuando se se reventó. Puede ser que haya estado ahí colgado por mucho y fue cuando no lo encontraron, se cayó y se But what I want you to look at is that sometimes there are things in the Bible that we must take as best as God commands. con las cosas que Judas el murió, y estas dos cuentas no podemos decir exactamente en particular, discernir algo. Lo que sí sabemos que fue ahorcado, que sus intestinos se reventaron, y cómo exactamente pasó, la escritura no lo dice exactamente. Debemos tomar lo que dice aquí. No tiene nada que ver con lo que él hizo, el evangelio, no tiene nada que ver con la verdad del evangelio. Es el problema con lo que Lucas dice y lo que Mateo dice. Pero la escritura, que no es de Jeremías, puede ser algo más problemático, ¿verdad? Si la escritura que vemos es en Empezando en el nueve, dice, y fue hecho lo que fue hablado por el profeta Jeremías, que tomaron las 30 piezas de plata que era, y las entregaron por un terreno. En esa cuenta dice algo así de Jeremías. ¿Qué dice de Jeremías? El lugar más cercano de la escritura que fue Encontradas en Zacarias, 11. Y si quieres ver ahí, vamos a ver en Zacarias, antes de Malakias. No sé por qué no lo... Zacarias, 11 y 12 y 13, dice así. En ese día, y la... Those who looked knew that it was the word of God. And I said, if you think it's good, give me my salary, but if not, keep it. And they waited 30 pieces of silver. It's the closest we can see in the scripture. What can we see? what historians and theologians say about this. Something that the prophecy that Matthew said about Jeremiah, but it was put by Zechariah. Jeremiah said, and it was not put, and Zechariah came and put it. Number two, something that Matthew wrote The prophet and some scribe said, like, Jeremias. Secondly, something that Mateo originally heard, Zacarias, but some scribe could have changed it to Zacarias. about what I can read, what we talk about about the law, the scripture, and the prophecy, the division of the Old Testament, the scripture, in this order of the law, the scripture of the... In that time of the past, when the time came for the prophets, Jeremias was always first. Because the section of the prophecy was sometimes referred to as Jeremias. They said Jeremias covered the entire Old Testament. As well as the scripture sometimes refers to a group in the Psalms. It is spoken by the prophet Jeremiah. That's what was put in the books. Again, this has nothing to do with what happened or the gospel, but it's just proof that what we have here is the best we can understand, including the word of God. So I want to finish with three things to show you this, the text. Remorse is not regret. Remorse is not repentance. Repentance is not to turn away from it, that we've sinned against God, but rather to turn to God. You can turn to sin without looking to Christ for your forgiveness and salvation. Judas confessed that he was an innocent man, that Jesus was innocent. He didn't turn to Jesus. He didn't come to Jesus for forgiveness. The readings that, the examples that we saw, it makes me think about a recent president. There is a very bad person, a very bad man. He was under some type of remorse for how he lived. And this pastor said, you must confess everything you can to God in your words. And he said, I don't know how to pray. Say God and start talking to him. And this man started talking about all the bad things he did. But he said, then you must admit to God that you have sinned and ask Jesus for your forgiveness. The president said, I don't need it. to ask for forgiveness. I never did it. I need forgiveness. This man confessed everything he did, but when he came to see, to ask Jesus for forgiveness and to ask him to clean him, he was not willing to do it. He only confessed and said something. He did not admit, he admitted that he had done wrong, but he never turned to go to Jesus. If you're a sinner, He's the only Savior. He can't be your Savior if you don't turn to Him. Number two, don't expect someone to save you if you're bad. Don't expect someone to get you out of your problem if you're also a sinner. The scribes and pharisees, no. He told them that he was a sinner. And he said, it's your problem. Don't wait for someone, another sinner to take away your sin. The religious in Judah did not come to Jesus. Why did the religious and why did Judah not come to Christ? I want to tell you, until now, it still happens to many Jews. Sabía la profecía que iba a venir el Mesías, pero su Mesías se mira como rey que tendría gobiernos y poderes y iba a quitar a los romanos de esa nación. For three and a half years, he followed Jesus Judas and saw that Judas was not going to be a military government. That's why he separated from him. The religious had all the prophecies, but they were looking for a king of the earth to get them out of the circumstances they were living in. I want to ask you. What are you looking for? Many people want to be Christians so that their lives can be perfected, but there are no promises that they will do this. It may be that they will turn to Jesus because it is the only thing that others do. I want to tell you, only those who turn to Jesus will be saved. You can regret it. Scripture says, Arrepentimiento hacia Dios y fe en Jesucristo. Mateo 27 dice, diciendo, yo he pecado entregando sangre inocente. Estas palabras nos salvaron a Judas. He pecado entregando sangre inocente. Esas palabras se habló, fueron habladas de un corazón no arrepentido. de ocho personas que hablaron estas palabras, he pecado. Te voy a decir, faraón, ¿se acuerdan? ¿Se acuerdan? Balaam, Egan, Saul, David, Judas. ¿Alguien quiere decir lo último? El hijo pródigo. Todos dijeron lo mismo, es pecado. Pero solo dos son salvos, es David y el hijo pródigo. Arrepentimiento nos salva. Arrepentimiento hacia Dios. Fe en Jesucristo. Salmos 51.1.4. Mira lo que dice, si nunca has leído. everything about Samuel and David and Solomon. This man followed God. This man, David, had a very bad family. I believe that if God saves David, he can save us. He created a monster in David. Listen, parents. First of all, because he didn't want to discipline his children. Do you remember? Parents, I want to tell you. What am I going to tell you? Peaceful parents. Peaceful parents are useless. no sirvió para David, que este hombre iba tras el corazón de Dios. Esto no sirvió para él, no servirá para ti. Disciplinen a sus hijos. Ten piedad de mí, oh Dios, conforme a tu misericordia. Este hombre pide misericordia. Ese hombre que se arrepintió de sus pecados, ¿Judah no pidió misericordia? Conforme a la multitude de tus piedades, borra mis rebeliones. Lávame más y más de la maldad. Límpiame de mi pecado porque yo reconozco mis rebeliones y mi pecado está siempre delante de ti, contra ti. Contra ti solo he pecado y he hecho lo malo delante de tus ojos para que sea reconocido justo en tus palabras, tenido por sus juicios. Lucas 15, 17. Y dice, cuando fue regenerado, He says, y busco a Jesucristo que eres, que viniste, viviste perfectamente, moriste en la cruz y eres la oveja de Dios y derramaste tu sangre por mi perdón. Yo te miro a ti para mi perdón y mi salvación. Arrepentimiento hacia Dios con la fe en Jesucristo. Hechos 26, 20. Sino que anunciaré primeramente a los que están en Damasco y en Jerusalén, por toda la tierra de Judea, y a los gentiles que se arrepientiesen y se conviertiesen a Dios, haciendo obras dignas de arrepentimiento. Judas never did this. He never turned to Christ. I want to ask you, what are you looking for? Rest? To do something that your father and mother did, forcing you to do it? No. You must look for God to forgive your sins. You look for your sins to be forgiven to escape the wrath of God. I want to ask you this. What do you want from Jesus Christ? I want mercy from him. I want salvation from him. I want him to forgive me. May the wrath of God be satisfied by him. His holiness. Have you seen Jesus? That's a good indication that you're a child of God. Have you turned to him in faith for repentance for his holiness? There's no other way. except by the blood of Jesus Christ, to be forgiven. I ask, Lord, that you do with this word what you want to do with all that we seek and do, the things that you do with these words, for your honor and your glory. In the name of Jesus, we ask this of you. Amen.
