I Am Judas’ kiss.’
I was reading this morning and came across sections of a story that I’ve read numerous times. I’ve highlighted some sections in the past, even probably written notes throughout the course of reading. But it hit different this time.
Their is a section of the Bible where Judas agrees to betray Jesus and lead the chief priests of that time directly to him. The deal, was for 30 pieces of silver.
I felt those words jumped out at me.
I have been working atleast 60 to 70 hours a week lately to make money.
All the while, pushing Jesus to the side. Can’t make rent money if I’m at church. Can’t make rent money if I’m attending church groups.
Man. I sound like Judas.
Pushing Jesus aside just to have some change in my pocket.
But don’t we all do something similar?
Read your Bible…
“Not tonight, I’m too tired.”
Go to church.
“Can’t make money at church.”
Turn off Netflix and dedicate your time to Jesus.
“OH, but this is my favorite show and I’m so close to finishing it.”
I am Judas’ kiss. It hurts my heart to say that, but in some ways, so are you.
Let’s give all our attention back to God.
When has He ever betrayed us?
Never.
“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”
