Judas Iscariot followed Jesus for many years. He must have given up a lot to follow Jesus, heard a lot of what Jesus said, and saw a lot of what Jesus did.
Judas actions could be called a betrayal, but from Judas's perspective, he would think of it as an inevitable change of mind.
By the grace of Jesus, we came to church. The same goes for Judas. But then, like Judas, we are deceived by money and becomes servants of the devil.
Even if we do not manage church money, we are not free from money problems.
Remember - The woman who poured the precious ointment poured everything she had. Therefore, this woman's work became the gospel that was spread.
Don't be a Judas.
