Two Kinds of Experience Confused by Judas—There are two kinds of experience—the outside showing and the inward working. The divine and human were at work in the character of Judas. Satan was working the human, Christ the divine. The Lord Jesus longed to see Judas rise to his appointed privileges. But the human side of Judas’ character was confused with his religious sentiments, and treated by him as essential attributes. By taking this view of things, he left an open door for Satan to enter and take possession of the entire man. If Judas had practiced the lessons of Christ, he would have surrendered to Christ, he would have consecrated his heart fully to God; but his confused experience was misleading him (Manuscript 28, 1897).{5BC 1101.6}

To slags erfaringer forvirrede Judas. - Der er to slags erfaringer - den ydre fremvisning og den indre bearbejdelse. Det guddommelig og menneskelige arbejdede i Judas’ karakter. Satan bearbejdede det menneskelige, Kristus det guddommelige. Herren Jesus længes efter at se Judas rejse sig op til de bestemte haver han havde fået. Men den menneskelige side af Judas’ karakter var forvirret af hans religiøse følelser, og han behandlede det som nødvendige egenskaber. Ved at tage dette syn for tingene, efterlod han en åben dør for Satan og gå ind og tage hele mennesket i besiddelse. Hvis Judas havde praktiseret Kristi lektier, ville han være overgivet til Kristus, ville han have helliget hele sit hjerte helt til Gud; men han forvirrede erfaring førte ham vild (MS 28, 1897).
