Psalm 18:2-3 “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.”
I hope everyone is having a Great week so far! As always I encourage you to get into the word of God on a daily basis. Have you read your Bible today? Did you know that if you read three chapters a day and four on Saturday and Sunday you will read the whole Bible in one year? We have lots of graduates going out to make their way in the world this time of year, let’s pray for them and their success. Our question for the week is; “Where in the Bible will I find one of the disciples betraying Jesus with a kiss?”
Before Jesus was arrested and taken to be crucified on of his own conspired to betray him. Mark 14:10-11, “And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.” While Judas was looking for a convenient time and place to betray the Son of God, Jesus had a habit of going to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray. On this particular night he had taken Peter, James, and John with him and as he was praying it says in Mark 14:43-46, “And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders and he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master, and kissed him. And they laid their hands on him and took him.” Think about it! J.W.
