Compassion

Did Jesus hold any anger or bitterness at Judas?  If Christ has unconditional love, did it stop at Judas?  Did Jesus see Judas as the betrayer, as his enemy, as one who would cause he excruciating pain?  Or did Jesus love Judas, long for his freedom, have compassion on any possible confusion or struggle that may have been in him?  Did Jesus die for the other disciples more than Judas, or hold them in higher regard than him?  If this were so, would it mean that today Christ holds some people above others?  Or that his love is unconditional for some and not others?  Is it possible that Christ's love is so radical that he cared about, cared for, nurtured and delighted in the very one who would turn him over to die?
