"Judas: The What-If Story of Redemption" from Christian Faith Publishing author James J. Sporleder is a thoughtful reflection on the concept of redemption as readers consider the path that led Judas to the ultimate betrayal.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Judas: The What-If Story of Redemption": a fascinating examination of a notorious biblical figure. "Judas: The What-If Story of Redemption" is the creation of published author James J. Sporleder, the pastor of Hillside Church of Faith in rural Effingham, Illinois, where he also farms with his family. He and his wife, Paula, enjoy spending time with their children and grandchildren, as well as spending time outdoors and traveling.
Sporleder shares, "Judas: The What-If Story of Redemption is the tragic and unfortunate narrative of the path the man that betrayed Jesus took. This book describes a life of potential and the what-if story of salvation and ministry he could have had with Jesus. This book shows that his life was not destined for destruction, but for a much greater purpose. Jesus did not pick Judas to betray him, but to be a man of God and a fisher of men. His poor decisions allowed his flesh to control him, so he never lived up to his calling. Jesus never gave up on trying to help Judas. He witnessed to him many times in word and deed to show him the truth and the error of his way.
"The choices Judas made were to get the things he wanted. These decisions led him to a place he did not want to be. Because he did not have a close relationship with Jesus, he did not have the spiritual depth to stand against the temptations that faced him, nor did he have the hope to cry out to God in true repentance. Therefore, he suffered the consequences for those decisions that he will regret for eternity.
"Let this book show you how Judas was deceived so that you may learn from his example and see the areas in your life that may be hindering you and the signs from God he is using to help you fulfill that plan so that your life does not conclude in failure, but in victory."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, James J. Sporleder's new book will challenge readers in their understanding of the connection between Jesus and Judas.
Sporleder shares in hopes of encouraging readers in their pursuit of biblical knowledge and understanding so they can fully comprehend the magnitude of God's grace.
