What is interesting to me about this thread is I have been thinking all week about Judas and have almost posted the question of why did he hang himself.
I have not given it a lot of thought but have been thinking about this in the context of say someone who is hooked on drugs or in deep depression who takes their own life. I know some who grew up in church and this happened not the suicide part but the other who have prayer earnestly about it and yet still can not stop. I can see where they lose hope and would might kill themselves and I wondered if this took place with Judas. He could not forgive himself.
What think you all or ya'll where I am.

Judas had neither the authority or the capacity to forgive himself. We can no more forgive ourselves than we can justify ourselves. Yet people try to do both daily.
Depression and despair over personal sin and/or poor choices will eat people alive. Forgiving themselves is impossible. Taking the problem to the LORD and allowing Him to forgive and cleanse is the only way to experience true release that comes from being forgiven. That's why it is called grace and mercy. -
Ah, a conscience void of offence toward God and men, priceless.
