@Judas_Zealot unfollows @JesusChrist

It you read any of the gospels –
the stories of Jesus’ life,
you will find that Jesus calls people to follow him.

Some do and some don’t.

Judas is one of the twelve followers who get named.

Why did he follow?

We can guess that he liked what Jesus was saying,
it resonated with his own beliefs.

Judas thought Jesus was someone who was going to bring change
to a people under occupation to a foreign power,
to a country where many were poor and taxes were high.

Follow Jesus, perhaps thought Judas, revolution was on the way!

But something about Jesus ended up meaning Judas,
decide to unfollow, to go from friend to betrayer.

This is the shock of Jesus, he disturbs the comfortable,

and comforts the disturbed.
