Did Judas intend to become a betrayer of his Messiah from the very beginning of his walk with Yashua/Jesus or did his own ideas and plans and expectations direct the events that led to the crucifixion of his Lord?  You may see yourself portrayed in this story as, like Judas, do the things we want end up determining how we follow our King Yashua.  How we follow will either lead to life or to death.  The choice Judas made led to his death.  Yashua said, “he who saves his life will lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake and the gospels will find it.  For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul; for what can a man give in exchange for his soul?”  It’s wonderful to fall into the arms of Yashua!
