Judas in Heaven ... Why not? ALL things are possible with Christ!

Judas being welcomed into God's Eternal Kingdom?

To some extent, I think that Scripture itself supports some of the thoughts from my most recent previous posting.

(1 Pet 4:6) "For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."

I kind of think that just about all of the people whom Jesus visited in "Hell" after His death on the cross knew that Judas betrayed Christ. Hmmm ... I just wonder if the first soul that Jesus met in those terrible hours was Judas. If so, I'm sure there would have been a crowd around--and that if Judas asked Jesus to forgive him ... well, what do you think Jesus would have done then? (Especially after asking His Father in Heaven to "forgive them for they know not what they do!")

What an impression that might have made in the depths of Hell!

There's just something that's tells me that if Jesus went to the depths of hell, and if Judas was there, that Jesus would have retrieved him as well as the others. (My pastor would add ..."if they accepted Christ as their Saviour," of course.)

I think the next four verses will back me up on my crazy thoughts.

Psa 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Mat 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

Mat 18:13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

Mat 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

I think it was great that Jesus went to all those that had died before, and offered salvation to them, before returning to those in the flesh. You must know they waited for quite a long time for that moment.

One parting thought: Where would the rest of us be--if someone had not betrayed Christ?

Is Judas in Heaven or Hell today?

I say that we probably should let God be His Judge.
