How beautiful, by way of further illustration, doth this verse here come in! Judas's crime, and that of the whole Jewish nation with him, was the rejection of Christ, the truly poor and needy man, whose heart was broken by the burden of the sins of his people and the rebuke of his Father. Judas saw his agony; and was admitted into his familiar acquaintance: he beheld the meek Lamb of God, and yet betrayed him. Oh! to grace how much are the people of God indebted, for being kept from the unpardonable sin, when in the days of their unregeneracy they are slighting all the sufferings of the Son of God! Psa_69:20; Psa_55:12-15.
