Josef Swave‘ is a trailblazing Christian hip-hop artist known for his authentic storytelling and unique perspectives on biblical narratives. A pivotal event in Josef Swave’s journey led to the creation of “Judas.” He notes, “I was reading the story of Judas and received a revelation I never had prior.” This revelation centers on the idea that every act of sin is a form of betrayal against Jesus, positioning us all as modern-day Judases.

With “Judas,” he challenges conventions and explores the intricate relationship between faith, sin, and redemption. According to the emcee, “At least once everybody been Judas.” While you listen to these powerful lyrics, just think about that. When is the last time, you betrayed Jesus? Is God sad when Christians fall into sin? Yes, God gets both sad and angry when we fall into sin.Sadness: “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit.” (Ephes4:30)Grief is sadness.Anger: In Revelation Chapters two and three there are several examples of Jesus getting angry with the church.For example, Revel 2: 4 “But I have this complaint against you. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first!”His anger even goes so far as to make threats against the church: Revel 2: 5 “Turn back to me again and work as you did at first. If you don’t, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches.”God even goes so far as to say that His own church is so sinful that it makes him vomit: Revel 3: 16 “So, because you are lukewarm — neither hot nor cold — I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”It is no light matter for Christians to fall into sin.
