The Bible seems to be more than adequately clear that Judas was a saved individual whose ministry was superlative in the cause of Christ Jesus the Lord. It is only tradition based upon doctrines that are becoming more and more suspect to more and more people that has clouded Judas' spiritual state and ministry. This book presents Judas as he stands out in the pages of Scripture. It explains the reason that Jesus called "a devil" early in His ministry and "the son of perdition" on the eve of His arrest and trial. He was not only chosen by Jesus as an apostle, he was sent out to preach a message that reflected the heart of Jesus' mission in His first advent. When Jesus spoke to the apostles, he was never left out or considered any differently than the other eleven. When Jesus evaluates them in His Sermon on the Mount, he receives the same commendations as well as the same commission as the other eleven. The Scriptures are so clear about Judas's spiritual state that Peter twice affirms Judas' belief in Jesus. And Matthew asserts that Judas fulfilled John's purpose statement in John 20:31: to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and to have eternal life upon that belief. The evidence for Judas' salvation is in fact overwhelming. Only errant theology has kept us from seeing it.
