Passion week continues....
Betrayal - "an act of deliberate
disloyalty," "helping an enemy"
Judas betrays Jesus....for money
“Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went
to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver
him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. From
then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.”
Matthew 26:14-16 (NIV)
Jesus knew this was going to happen. He speaks about
it at the supper table later with His disciples. One of those that closely
walked with Him betrayed Him...for money. Judas knew how much Jesus loved Him
but he did it anyway.
This passage grieves my hearts...
"From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to
hand him over."
Verse 16
That was just the beginning. More betrayal. More hurt.
The cross was coming.
