Rethinking Betrayal and Belief: Joseph Yoo on Judas and the Resurrection Part 2
In this episode of The Rising Podcast, Melanie Penn continues her conversation with Joseph Yoo, diving deeper into the theological complexities of the resurrection, focusing on the often-misunderstood figure of Judas. They discuss Judas not merely as “the betrayer” but as a complex individual whose actions might have stemmed from disillusionment and a different expectation of Jesus’s messianic role. Joseph shares his personal reflections on Judas, influenced by his own struggles with feelings of betrayal. The conversation also touches on the possibility that Judas believed his actions would accelerate Jesus's mission and lead to a different outcome. Additionally, Melanie discusses her upcoming resurrection-themed album, emphasizing that Easter’s message is not limited to a single day, but is relevant every day.
Thought-Provoking Quotes: “That hurts when you put someone on a pedestal and they are nothing what you thought they were. That does hurt. That does feel like a betrayal. And I feel like that’s something that Judas wrestled with.” - Joseph Yoo
“How many times have we felt betrayed and we retaliated in that betrayal? We may not have sold our friends to the powers that be to have them executed. But we’ve caused some sort of death in our retaliation, a feeling of betrayal. That’s what humans do when we’re hurt.” - Joseph Yoo
“Jacob literally wrestled with God. We’re meant to wrestle and ask questions and know that God is bigger than our questions. The more questions we ask, the more we are able to understand.” - Joseph Yoo "Easter isn’t just one day of the week. Easter’s every single Sunday, because we serve a risen Lord. Easter’s everyday!” - Joseph Yoo
