Betrayed

Tonight is our Good Friday Service. During our choral presentation, I play Judas and have one line, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" I receive the thirty pieces of silver, betraying Jesus.

I hope our director wasn’t typecasting because Judas is a villain we view with disdain. How could he? BETRAY the CHRIST... I’m not a betrayer, a JUDAS. 

Betray – “to deliver or expose to an enemy by treachery or disloyalty; to be unfaithful in guarding, maintaining, or fulfilling (Online Dictionary).  Hmmm. What’s my price? Pride. Saving face. Just getting along. Have I ever bypassed the truth to avoid conflict or an awkward moment? Have I been loyal to Christ’s teaching and example in my everyday life?

Perhaps it won’t be too much of an act. 

 

But there is hope... Sunday's a'comin...

 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:13,14)

…Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification. (Romans 4:25)
