Judas…

Betrayal…

Luke 22:1-6
22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, 2 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people. 3 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. 4 And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. 5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money. 6 He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.

Friendship is a beautiful thing. And like all beauty, it is fleeting if not taken care on a consistent basis. In this passage, Jesus is betrayed by His friend by Judas, who hands Him to authorities for money.

Now, what would you? Would you take the money and turn in Jesus? Now know this. Jesus loved Judas, even after the betrayal. Jesus Saves!

Amen.
