Sharing your knowledge of the Old Testament in your reflections has helped me to connect the dots in the context of what the Jews would have understood about Jesus. It’s extremely helpful. May God bless you and enjoy seeing your daughter and grandsons in Dakar.

He descended into hell.”), that Jesus went to extend His forgiveness to those who had died before Him. So, the question is whether He did the same for Judas. Even though Judas committed the sin of suicide. And perhaps denied Christ as God, blaspheming the Holy Spirit. The only unforgivable sin. I obviously don’t know the answer. But, someday?

Thank you for your good reflection. I trust that you are enjoying Dakar. Interestingly, I spent many years in the int’l relocation industry, which is where my career began. Question. You stated: “To experience Jesus’ love as did Peter. Did Jesus go back to ‘him’ after Judas’ death to forgive ‘him’ and reunite ‘him’ with the Father?” By “him”, are you referring to Judas?
