Peter and Judas: Same Betrayal, Two Different Endings
What the video says
Peter and Judas both betrayed Christ on the same night. Judas sold him for 30 pieces of silver, and Peter, who said he would never leave him, denied him three times before the rooster crowed. Both fell and both felt terrible, and Judas even brought back the money saying, "I have sinned."
The speaker explains that in the original Greek the gospel uses a different word for what Judas felt: regret, not metanoia, real repentance. Judas looked at his sin and lost hope, while Peter wept bitterly and went back to Christ. After the resurrection, Jesus met Peter by the sea and asked him three times, "Do you love me?", one for each denial, and gave him his place back.
The speaker tells viewers not to stay alone with their guilt like Judas but to go back to Christ like Peter, and says going to confession is the best thing they could do. He asks whether guilt has ever kept them away from God.
