Are you running after Judas? It’s an unsettling question, but it’s one we must ask ourselves. Judas Iscariot pursued money, influence, and his own agenda, yet his story ended in tragic destruction. In Philippians 3, Paul contrasts this path of earthly ambition with the eternal prize of following Christ. He writes with tears in his eyes, warning us that pursuing the wrong things leads to condemnation, shame, and eternal separation from God.
In this episode, Stephen Davey explores Paul’s heartfelt plea for believers to examine their direction in life. Are we captivated by fleeting pleasures, worldly possessions, or human accolades? Or are we running with endurance toward Jesus, the only source of eternal joy and fulfillment? Stephen unpacks the Apostle Paul’s vivid descriptions of the unbelieving world, highlighting the stark differences between those who chase after the temporal and those who strive for the eternal.
This message is a call to stop running in the wrong direction. It’s an invitation to leave behind the empty pursuits of this world and run toward Jesus, who offers forgiveness, purpose, and everlasting life. Tune in to recalibrate your focus and rediscover the joy of walking with Christ.
