Understanding Christianity

Judas betrays Jesus in an hour of darkness when God gives Satan a temporary time of limited success. Peter also descends into an hour of darkness in three denials. Nevertheless, Jesus gives the tremendous hope of deliverance in forgiving Peter who repented with godly tears. Judas had worldly remorse and committed suicide. Jesus forgives us freely and powerfully when we repent. His compassion is more powerful than our weakness. His grace is more amazing than our sin. www.seancole.net
