Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, "What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?" So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. (Matthew 26:14-16 NIV)
It has been said that everybody has a price. I don't know that to be true though. Is there enough of something to make you sell someone out? Is it money, or fame? Would you sell out your best friend for a few hundreds bucks? Judas sold out Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Then he hung himself.
I don't think there is enough money in the world for me to sell out anyone I know or anyone I don't know for that matter. You see I don't think that everybody has a price. I think that greed can get the better of people and that people sometimes want for things so bad that they will do crazy and regrettable things to get them.
Just remember that Jesus paid the ultimate price when He died for us. Peace and God Bless
