TASTE CHANGE

Matthew 27:7-8

After some discussion they finally decided to buy the potter’s field, and they made it into a cemetery for foreigners.

That is why the field is still called the Field of Blood.

To do wrong may at first look juicy. It is most likely just for that moment. That stolen moment may look like what you cannot do without, that vengeance, that desire to get even or to get satisfaction. Wait, it is all a mirage. 

Proverbs 20:17

Stolen bread tastes sweet, but it turns to gravel in the mouth.

This is what Judas must have felt after he had betrayed Christ. Going with the account of Matthew, he became remorseful, however before then it looked like a perfect plan till when it was now time to dine, just like Proverbs says it becomes like gravel in the mouth. 

How many people have destroyed their lives and that of others by just a wave of pleasure, and outburst of immorality, or moment of anger, it could also be as a result of being under the influence of alcohol or other substances. That brief moment can cause a long time of damage. 

Marriages have been destroyed, some have gotten imprisoned, some have lost the trust and respect of their children or subordinates, some have died and worse still SOME have LOST ETERNITY OF PEACE. 

We must remember:

1 John 2:15-17

Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.

For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.

And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

We who have believed are not under the world system but under the "kingdom of God" system. 

Help us Good Lord. 

He calls us blessed. 

Love
