The kiss of betrayer

by -
Matthew  26:48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

Judas was one of the twelve disciples Jesus Christ selected by himself for the work of the Gospel, enrolled them in training, sent them out for practicals, eat, sleep and pray with them on several occasions.

But the affectionate relationship between him and Christ could not overpowered his love for money.

He sought to reveal who Christ was to the enemy, because it was very difficult to identify Jesus Christ among the disciple because they do things together, dress in the same pattern etc.

No other way than through kissing, the kiss was a customary form of affectionate greeting among the Jews. Judas used such to identify Jesus.

The kiss of betrayal doesn't come from enemies, they actually come from best friends, family members, trusted co-workers, treated business partners etc.

At one point in life, betrayers cannot be avoided, they will love money more than your life, they will value their selfish gain more than your years of friendship, they will value your money more than trust... In all, do not let stop you from being a good person 

If Judas Iscariot can value thirty pieces of silver than his saviour and the post of an Apostleship, imagine what someone will do just to get their way. 

Trust only God, men are bound to fail or betray, total dependant on  God will give you everlasting peace and joy, even if there is betrayal, there is joy withing that they are descendant of Judas Iscariot, and that his action didn't stop Jesus Christ from becoming the saviour, it was even the process. 

Do not be angry when you are kissed with the kiss of betrayal. They are bound to happen. 

Trust in God will give you strength to overcome any form of betrayal. 

God bless you. 

Prayer key:

1. Lord thank you for a day like this in Jesus name. 

2. Lord help me to put my trust in you in all I do in Jesus name. 

3. Lord, strengthen me to live above betrayers in Jesus name. 

4. Thank you for answered prayers in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
