Judas allowed his fleshly desires of greed to come in between him and Jesus. It’s easy for us to point fingers at him and call him a betrayer. But think about your own life…how many times have you chose your fleshly desires and it came in between you and Jesus? This is why we must also put the kingdom of heaven first. We must always keep our eyes focused on things above and not on earthly things. Don’t get tangled up in the flesh and it’s desires…keep your eyes and heart fixed on the Creator.
