Now What?
I don't count Jesus as a character of the story because He is the story. So as far as characters go, I like Judas Iscariot, or actually the dichotomy between him and Peter.
Both sinned against Jesus: one betrayed him once, the other denied him three times. Both felt remorse for doing so. And both tried to correct the wrongs they commited. The biggest difference though was that Peter sought forgiveness for his crime against his Lord and Judas did not.
The story of Judas reminds me of how even though we try to make amends after we commit wrongs, we need to go that one step further and actually ask for forgiveness and reconciliation. Is it really so hard to be humble enough to ask for forgiveness after a wrong? I often thought how awesome it would have been if Judas would have approached Jesus on the cross and said "I am very sorry Lord, please forgive me" and Jesus responding, "I do forgive you."
I can relate to being like Judas many times in life, especially when I was still active. So I like the story/character of Judas Iscariot.

I like David's third wife, Abigail. She was one smart lady. Notice how David's fortunes turned once she joined his entourage?
