Skinned Judas + a masochistic way of still living after the pain he suffers, enduring the pain everyone is inflicting on him. Mental, physical, emotional and spiritual pains. Though it hurts him he still continues his mission to betray Chirist on purpose.

Hangman’s Rope + Judas’ suicide. Selfishness. Self Sacrifice. Loner. Dying alone.

The Praying Hands + though physically ruined and emotionally depressed, Judas’ faith remained strong, he died knowing that he will go straight down to hell, that he takes all the burden, and doesn’t expecets anyone’s prayers to be for him to save him from hell’s fire. Yet, his faith is strong. It could not be broken nor bent, he still believes in god and does so in the end. It is the only thing he brings with him where ever he is.

Blood Tears + Regret. Sorrow. Sadness. Unbearable pain.

Nose Bleed + mental illness. Stress. Burden. Pain.

+artist’s + explanation+

Since I was a kid, I’ve never considered Judas to be evil. Though I liked the Satanic and Evil things that manifest in the world, I really didn’t consider him that. I always felt wrong about accusing Judas to be a sinner or someone who had disobeyed Jesus. I felt he had to do that, what he did, he had to do that and it had a purpose. Being a child then, I wasn’t able to really focus on these thoughts. Not until I was a painter. Should I be reminded of what I thought of Judas when I recently saw the National Geographic documentary, the GospeL of Judas. And it awoken something in my memory, I wasn’t really found of treating Judas as a traitor of Jesus, but to me, he was a saint for Christians. My mind was, as I saw, corrupted and clouded by Dante’s Inferno, that Judas sits in one of Satan’s 3 mouths.

To me, Judas, was still an apostle, he had a good heart, he wouldn’t be so tempted enough to just betray Jesus. To me, Peter should be hated, because he betrayed Jesus thrice how Judas betrayed him. And Peter was thinking of not being stoned, saving his own life.

I could be wrong with all this, but we really don’t have all the answers in this life. If we ever make mistakes that we thought we’re really doing is right, and you people go to heaven, and be forgiven about it. Then it’s not that farfetch’d if Judas thought he was doing the right thing, but was actually not, and was still forgiven to go to heaven. After all Christians should love their enemies, I don’t see why priests still condemn or say bad things about Judas.
