READ: ACTS1:13-20
There is
nothing as bad as getting to a destination from where a return journey is
impossible. You will have no one to blame but yourself for reaching a
destination where you regret eternally. Therefore, you must look before you
leap. Anyone who starts a journey must know his destination. By the time Paul
was writing his second letter to Timothy in, 2 Timothy 4:7, he said clearly
that he had arrived at the right destination.“I have fought the good fight, I have
finished the race, I have kept the faith.” On the other hand, Judas,
according to our text, arrived at a wrong destination. The passage says he had
gone to his own place. He was down and out. His case was a settled matter. His
file was closed. In Judges 16:20-22, you will read about Samson. Samson had a
great fall. His eyes were plucked out. He was bound with fetters of iron.
However, the hair on his head started to grow again. This means that he was
down but was not out. In other words, his fate was not sealed yet. No matter
what state you find yourself in, never get to a point where your file will be
closed. Today, you still have an opportunity. You can make amends before it is
too late. God’s grace is available to you. Even you.
