Was his name symbolic of the tribe of Judah? Did Jesus know from the very beginning that Judas would betray him, or did he have a shortlist (i.e. Peter, Judas, Matthew)? Perhaps I am being too introspective, but the average Christian reminds me more of Pontius Pilate and Paul (before his conversion) than those post-resurection guys. Wasn't Judas' confession of sin and acknowledgement of his betrayal enough for a quick trip to heaven? If not, what hope do the rest of us have?
