Why did Jesus recruit Judas?

Jesus lost none given to him, but one given to him was lost. (John 17:12)

Jesus came to save the lost one. (Matthew 18:11)

The one who sent Jesus wanted Jesus to raise up the lost one again at the last day. (John 6:39)

At the beginning of the last day, the lost one was not clean. (John 13:11)

The lost one had lifted up his heel against Jesus. (John 13:18)

The lost one had become a traitor. (Luke 6:16)

Jesus washed the heel of the lost one, and he was clean. (John 13:1-15; Acts 10:15)

God wanted Jesus to deliver himself to the chief priests, to suffer many things of them, to be killed, and to be raised again. (Matthew 16:21-23)

The food of Jesus was to do the will of Him who sent him, and to finish His work. (John 4:34)

To deliver himself to the chief priests, Jesus chose to send one of the Twelve to serve as guide to those who would take him. (Acts 1:16)

Jesus used Scripture to choose who should eat his food with him. That is, he used Scripture to choose who to send do deliver himself. Accordingly, he chose the one who had lifted up his heel against him. (John 13:18)

Judas, who had now been raised up again, overcame Satan, who was opposed to those things of God which Jesus said should happen, and glorified Jesus. (Matthew 16:21-23; John 13:27,31)

To summarize, Jesus recruited Judas to save him. (Matthew 18:11)

Jesus saved him, and Judas served him with a kiss. (Matthew 26:49)

Note: If you believe the English word “betray” is the correct translation of any Greek word in the four Gospels, then you believe a lie, and you are deceived.

Jesus came in his Father’s name, and he was not received. (John 5:43)

I say these things only in my own name, that Jesus might now be received.
