in Zion’s Advocate (1882)
“AND YE ARE CLEAN, BUT NOT ALL.” That was Judas. His
guilty soul, foul with sin of the deepest dye, was never washed
in the blood of Jesus, therefore, he was not clean, though he
partook of the communion, and had his feet washed. Why was
this allowed? It was done in order that he might fill up to the
brim the cup of wrath against him of his hypocrisy, deceit and
treachery. It was done that the plan of betrayal might not miscarry,
for Jesus was delivered by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God, into wicked hands to be slain. |
