dec 25, 31 - Heaven On Their Minds

Description:

According to the Gospel of Judas:

Role of Judas: Judas Iscariot is portrayed not as a betrayer but as a favored disciple who has been given special knowledge by Jesus. This knowledge is considered esoteric and not shared with the other disciples.

Purpose of Betrayal: Judas is depicted as fulfilling a divine role by handing Jesus over to the authorities. Jesus reveals to Judas that his act of betrayal is necessary for the liberation of Jesus’ spiritual self from the material body. This act is seen as a crucial part of the cosmic plan, rather than a mere act of betrayal.

Special Knowledge: Judas is shown as having been given deeper insights into Jesus' teachings, which are not understood by the other disciples. This includes knowledge about the nature of the divine realm and the true nature of Jesus' mission.

Separation from Other Disciples: The gospel suggests that Judas's actions set him apart from the other disciples because he is acting on higher spiritual insight and understanding, rather than out of mere malice or greed. His role is portrayed as integral to the divine plan, contrasting sharply with the portrayal in the canonical Gospels.
