What would have happened if Judas did not betray Jesus? Why did there need to be a single man who did the betraying...indeed what is even the point of such as betrayal...surely it was no secrete where Jesus went during the night for prayer.
To me it almost seems a rather silly method of betrayal...ie to betray the location of a person who made no secret of his whereabouts most of the time. Lets face it, he had only just entered Jerusalem on a donkey with people shouting and singing and laying down vegetation on his pathway, i would imagine that practically the whole of the city must have heard about his triumphal entry into the city. When the naysayer complained about the noise, the Messiah himself stated that if the people were silenced, the very stones would cry out.
So in light of the above, I look at the old testament sanctuary service, to me it represents almost the entire biblical story in terms of the plan of salvation. So if the sanctuary service is representative of this plan, what part of that service accounts for Judas betrayal? Where does Judas fit into all of this exactly...what is the purpose of a betrayal of something that is no secret?
