One of the hand-picked “friends” sells him out for a pocketful of cash?! Jesus’ church treasurer?! Judas started the conversation himself?! This might be a good connection to what happened to Peter, who sold Jesus out for a different reason. What about our betrayal of Jesus, selling him out for the sake of more hours at work, more popularity at school, etc. Connect this to the scandal of grace by showing how Jesus warned Judas and loved even his betrayer.
