The Lost Gospel-found!

Happy Easter Everyone!
I don't know how many of you have been tracking the recent unearthing of the lost Gospel of the Bible- The Gospel of Judas.
The figure of Judas remains embedded in popular culture as the figure of a traitor and the very incarnate of evil. He is history's most hated man as the one black sheep apostle who betrayed Jesus Christ to the Romans.
Very recently, a Gospel has come to light that shows the tale of Judas in a completely different light.

Everyone remembers the story of Jesus Christ’s close friend, one of the 12 Apostles, who sold him out for 30 pieces of silver, identifying him with a kiss. Later, crazed with guilt, Judas hanged himself. He is the ultimate symbol of treachery. Stockyards call the goat that leads other animals to slaughter the Judas goat.
Guides at the historic Coptic (the language in those days) Hanging Church in Old Cairo point out one black column in the church’s white colonnades—Judas, of course. Christianity would not be the same without its traitor.
There is a sinister backdrop to traditional depictions of Judas. As Christianity distanced itself from its origins as a Jewish sect, Christian thinkers found it increasingly convenient to blame the Jews as a people for the arrest and execution of Christ, and to cast Judas as the archetypal Jew. The four Gospels, for example, treat Roman governor Pontius Pilate gently while condemning Judas and the Jewish high priests.

The key passage comes when Jesus tells Judas: “You will sacrifice the man that clothes me.” In plain English, or Coptic, Judas is going to kill Jesus—and thus do him a favor. “That really isn’t Jesus at all,” says Meyer. “He will at last get rid of his material, physical flesh, thereby liberating the real Christ, the divine being inside.”

That Judas is entrusted with this task is a sign of his special status. “Lift up your eyes and look at the cloud and the light within it and the stars surrounding it,” Jesus tells him encouragingly. “The star that leads the way is your star.” Ultimately, Judas has a revelation in which he enters a “luminous cloud.” People on the ground hear a voice from the cloud, though what it says may be forever unknown due to a tear in the papyrus.

The gospel ends abruptly with a brief note reporting that Judas “received some money” and handed Jesus over to the arresting party. The picture attached to this post shows a kiss imbedded in history- The kiss of Judas,before he "betrayed" him.

Almost 2006 years later, this Gospel is found, Judas, reborn, is about to face the world.

Perhaps, this is an interpretation,perhaps it is the survival of a story hidden by people who didnt want it to be told. Whatever the case maybe, it has shaken the pillars of belief systems of people all accross the world.
Makes one think twice about how much we absorb as true without questioning.
What does the wisdom passed down the ages really signify?
