*Devil's Antics*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him"* (John 13:2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight_
The verse in John 13:2 reveals a critical moment in the unfolding drama of Jesus' betrayal. The devil, having influenced Judas Iscariot's heart, sets in motion a chain of events that would change the course of history. This verse teaches us that our thoughts and actions are not always our own, but can be influenced by external forces, including the enemy of our souls. It highlights the importance of being mindful of the thoughts we entertain and the influences we allow into our lives.
The fact that the devil put the thought of betrayal into Judas' heart underscores the reality of spiritual warfare. It reminds us that we are not just fighting against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). This verse encourages us to be vigilant and proactive in guarding our hearts and minds against the enemy's schemes. By putting on the armor of God and standing firm in our faith, we can resist the devil's influences and remain faithful to God's purposes.
The lesson from John 13:2 also serves as a warning against the dangers of unchecked ambition, greed, and pride. Judas' betrayal was motivated by his own selfish desires, which ultimately led to his downfall. This verse reminds us that when we allow our own interests and desires to take precedence over God's will, we open ourselves up to the enemy's influence and risk compromising our faith.
