Lessons Learned From Betrayal.

Luke 22:47-53

47 And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53 When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”

Quickword: Lessons Learned From

Betrayal.

Have you ever been betrayed by a friend, family member, or a co-worker, if so, then you know the hurt betrayal causes. I believe this text teaches us that there are lessons to be learned even from betrayal.

- Sometimes those closest to us betray us.

- When we are betrayed, we must remember who we are and whose we are.

- When we are betrayed, our enemies victory is only temporary.

The good news is that as believers, we have a friend in Jesus who will stick closer than a brother. Even when we fail, Jesus will never leave us or forsake us!
