30 pieces of silver





The sentence for robbing, stealing, what would that be, well today there is
The possibility of not being caught at all if you look at crime statistics,
Or you could get caught but get off due to a technicality,
Or get caught and have to some community service,
Or get caught and get a financial fine,
Or get caught and get a custodial sentence,
Or get caught and get a physical punishment, e.g. flogging or caning,
Or get caught and get a capitol punishment e.g. a death sentence.

What is the sentence for preaching the truth, and healing the sick, and bringing deliverance to those who are inflicted, or oppressed of the Devil? Jesus Christ paid the highest price for his trumped up “crimes” in a “kangaroo” court.

The precious blood of Jesus was spilt on the hill of Golgotha, and this blood still has the same cleansing power now as it did then. This precious lamb, without spot or blemish, which was the image of the Father, was betrayed to the authorities for 30 pieces of silver.



In Exodus 21:32 we read that if an ox harms a servant then 30 pieces of silver was the price to pay to the master of that slave.

(In Hosea 3:2, we see how 15 shekels and 1 & ½ homers of barley was the equivalent of the price of a damaged slave.)

Lets study Judas, one of the twelve apostles.
