Judas Iscariot - Blog Posts

Jesus and Judas were sitting alone on the edge of a stone wall after the last supper, Jesus turns to Judas and says

“Are you alright my brother?”

Judas wakes out of his thoughtful daze and looks at Him, turning his gaze back quickly to his sandals

“Why do you still love me?”

“You are my disciple. Why shouldn’t I?”

Judas sighs and kicks his feet

“You said I’ll be the one to… betray you.”

Jesus nodded and looked down at the ground

“Yes. But I’ll still love you anyway. I love the lowly, I love the poor, I love the sick, lame, blind, and deaf. I love them all the same, why shouldn’t I love you?”

Judas scooted closer to Jesus and laid his hand on top of His in a comforting embrace

“I can’t be the one to kill you.”

Jesus rubbed His thumb over the back of Judas’s hand, turning to him

“It’s what the Lord says, what my Father says.”

Judas scoffed

“Well… call me blasphemous, but that doesn’t seem like what a good Father would do…”

Jesus’s expression saddened, He looked down at Judas’s hand

“My brother, you do not understand His plan, I do not understand it entirely either, but we must trust Him.”

Judas frowned angrily

“Yeah… sure.”

Jesus leaned in and kissed Judas’s cheek, earning a look of surprise as Judas turned to Him

“My brother… you will do the same to me, as I have done unto you.”

Judas did not know what he meant, he just nodded politely

“I love you Judas.”

“…”

“I love you so much.”

“…”

“I miss you.”

Today, I'm thinking about Jesus Christ Superstar again (specifically the 2012 live arena version). Im thinking about how raw and desperate and viceral all of it is. Thinking about the inherit guilt and shame and anger is jesus and judas. How they can rail against the narrative all they want, can drag their feet towards the end, can go kicking and screaming, and it will end up the same anyway. How hard they fight against their fate, desperate to be heard. Judas begging Jesus to trust him, to listen to his concerns. "Listen Jesus, I don't like what I see. All I ask is that you listen to me, " Jesus begging God to have mercy, to answer the cries of his knly son. "God, god, why have you forsaken me?". Anout how Jesus begged for him mother as he was dying, about how scared and alone he was. Thinking about how Judas was right the whole time, that they did turn against Jesus, that it was out of his control. Jesus did want him, need him, to betray him for the sake of gods plan. "You wanted me to do it,". Thinking about how Judas didn't go to the rally with Jesus in hosanna, isntead watching over him from afar. About how all of the zealots who only saw jesus as a savior, half god half sacrificial lamb, and how judas was the only one not there. Thinking about anachronisms and using each others name like a curse. "You liar, you Judas." "Christ you deserve it. " Thinking about the love that threads them together, even if its not enough to save either of the.

😦(😭)

(I also once thought of Jesus and Judas as Hamilton and Burr but I really didn't think it suited it that well)

I cried after watching what I had put together. Can y’all tell I’ve got trauma

And I also did an altar for the Judases, '73 Judas, Timdas, Jeromdas, Bluedas, Swedas and Amstedas

Swedas' offering is semla, the dessert the jcs server decided was his favorite

Simon: *has a child safety teather*

Mary: Is that a leash?

Jesus: No, it is a child safety teather, let’s go Simon

Judas: It’s a leash, don’t judge us

Judas: Simon is going through a phase, gosh, at least we hope it’s a phase

Jesus: He bolts every chance he gets, so we had no choice than to put him on a child safety teather

Judas: …

Judas: It’s a leash... and we did have a choice
