The Love of Money

Matthew 27: 3-5
Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

          Sometimes the thing which we think we want isn't what we really want at all. Many of us have coveted after possessions, people essentially after that false sense of happiness. Only to find that once we possess that thing, they or it isn't all of what we thought it would be. Or for those that haven’t obtained that which they desire. They find that it’s just simply not worth it.

Manna for thought: There is so much we could gain from the life of Judas but I think here we simply see being blinded by what the bible tells us is the root of all evil, “the love of money”.
1 Timothy 6:10
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
