A verse for 3/17/12



Joh 13:25  So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
Joh 13:26  Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
Joh 13:27  Then after he had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly."

When Jesus told Judas, "What you are going to do, do quickly."  What He most likely meant was;

A.   I don’t really care when you do it, just as long as you do it quickly when you start.
B.   It does not matter to me when you do it, just make sure that it gets done.
C.   Go, take care of this matter now! And don’t delay.
Most anyone would agree that Jesus was not telling Judas to make sure that he do the deed in a very quick manner whenever he decides to get started with the deed; and Jesus was not saying that He didn’t mind when Judas got started, just has long as he was quick in the task at hand whenever he did start. But, most would also agree that what Jesus was telling Judas was, “Go! Quickly, now and get this over with! How in the world can some insist that in Revelation 22:12  “And behold, I am coming quickly” is saying that whenever He get started He will do it quickly?
