Fear is a peculiar thing if its missed placed, you can find yourself worshiping the thing you fear losing more than what you have to gain by following righteousness (Deuteronomy 6:25). With hindsight it’s easy to see the errors of others and maybe ourselves, but what if we are no different then the ones Yeshua(Jesus) rebuked? In the passages ahead ask yourself, is it easier to rebel against the message that Yeshua(Jesus) taught if you thought you were imputed righteousness?
Luke 22:1-8 KJV - Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him(Yeshua/Jesus); for they feared the people. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him(Yeshua/Jesus) unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him(Yeshua/Jesus) unto them in the absence of the multitude. Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. And he(Yeshua/Jesus) sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
To walk with Yeshua(Jesus) and experienced all that he did and to hear His healing Words, and his Words of correction. Then, How is it that only a few were or are really paying attention enough to see the Father’s Word in Yeshua's(Jesus's) Heart which he spoke (Psalm’s 119:11)?
Matthew 23:1-3 NKJV - Then Jesus(Yeshua) spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.

Deuteronomy 18:13-14 NKJV - You shall be blameless before the Lord(YHVH) your God(Elohim). For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord(YHVH) your God(Elohim) has not appointed such for you.
Reflection:
Take a mental step back, take a long slow deep breath, and choose your next thought wisely. Eve said No bringing death, Cain said No bringing death, and above Judas said No (Proverbs 8:35-36). Since Yeshua(Jesus) is the Word of YHVH(God) in the flesh what do you hear Him saying to your heart?
John 5:24 NKJV - “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
