Hallowing of Hell - Holy Saturday

We know this story, or at least we think we know about it. When Jesus died on the cross, his soul descends to Hell. He went as a victorious, untouchable and unstoppable force to free all the righteous souls still trapped there from the beginning of times. Mostly all the people we know from the Old Testament. You can imagine such vision, Jesus like God himself, bust open with ease the Gates of Hell and defied the evil forces easily to take with him all the souls worthy of salvation and ascend gloriously to Heaven.

Basically, a visible triumph of Good vs Evil before the resurrection.

But we know I care about the Judas comic, made by both Jeff Loveness and Jakub Rebelka, which shown the Hallowing of Hell in a completely different way:

Jesus descends to Hell and he lost all his Godly powers, leaving in as a vulnerable soul and Lucifer orders the wicked souls to drag him to the deepest pit, trapped. But Judas, realizing that despite everything, Jesus still loves him and still forgives all the wrathful souls, decides to defy Lucifer himself and even all Hell to go and descend deeper to save Jesus.

Unlike the official vision of Jesus as a mighty force who bust open the Gates of Hell, Judas, as a vulnerable and powerless soul, fight tooth and nail to get though the evil forces, risking his own existence to get deeper and deeper.

Unlike Jesus in the known version who can't be defeated, Judas had everything to lose doing that. He isn't God, he's not capable of doing miracles (at least, not in the same scale as Jesus), he's afraid and lost himself. And the evil forces there are relentless and cruel. By sheer luck, he wasn't destroyed on his journey.

Still, he was capable of defying such mighty force on his way, the determination and courage of continuing even if he has nothing to gain. He didn't go to save the souls of the Old Testament, he went to save the man he cares, loves and worries the most. His Lord. His Master. This only Hope.

Judas Iscariot doing the Hallowing of Hell to save the Messiah, with all odds against him and still managed to go through successfully even if he was tortured in the process. He went as a normal soul, but with such love on his heart which gives him all the motives to face against the beasts.

He became the Savior in Hell, the one even the Son of God himself needed the most in his lowest moment. Judas doesn't care anymore if he's trapped there for all eternity, he still cares for Jesus enough to risk himself for him.

In the celebrated Hallowing of Hell, Jesus descends like a holy powerful being to open the gates, not even the demons could stop him and save all the souls.

In this Hallowing of Hell, Judas all vulnerable and normal soul, risked everything to save the one who can save the entire world. Jesus needed Judas like the world needed Jesus to save them all.

Because the salvation of all humanity, starts with the salvation of a dearest single person for the other. Judas saved everyone by saving Jesus, without needing external power to do so. His heart lead him to his Lord, his Love saved Hope.

The True Salvation. Judas opened the Gates of Hell for Jesus to pass though.
