John 12:4-6 KJV
Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
Judas was a devil and a thief. He was the one to betray Jesus and Jesus knew it was so. Yet Jesus suffered Judas to stay in the twelve and called him friend to the end.
We don't have to fix every problem person we have among us, nor must we cast them aside. God knows about them and knows how to deal with them. Who knows how many stands of wheat have been destroyed because, in our humanity, we thought they were tares? Better it would be to suffer wrong than to ruin one whom God was molding.
