A Kiss That Showed No Love

Judas was a disciple and a kiss he did convey to let the soldiers know whom to arrest that day Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss that showed no love as a kiss is an expression of love that mankind thought of but why did Judas pick a kiss as the symbol for his bad act? why did he choose this gesture of love as a part of his attack? Judus was a Zealot and patience is not their forte they wanted Jesus the Messiah to make His move right away with an ulterior motive in mind Judus tried to force Jesus' mission unable to see that it's about God's timing and it's always God's decision yet some think that Judas was weak in his discipleship as he was not one whom with Jesus had the closest relationship as humans we are creatures of ambiguity we all have some bad and good we all have the propensity to misbehave and act as Satan would we all have a bad seed in us that if the Lord God does not pull out will flourish over time and have us acting out now when Judas kissed Jesus, Jesus acknowledged him as friend but for thirty pieces of silver Judas sold Him out in the end from weakness to wickedness but for God's saving grave the Human race would not even exist in this place Like David a man who the Lord God took to heart for David never tried to justify the bad acts he did impart now Jesus the Christ came to us as a living sacrifice He was God's greatest symbol of the love that He had for human life for God loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son who only had a love for us even after His dying was done high on a cross at Calvary with His last breath He asked Father God to forgive us for bringing about His death we do bad things, we carry out acts of betrayal, evil and killing the things that man has done to man be it accidental or willing a kiss that showed no love was the gesture that Judas gave but Jesus still had a love for him even after He arose from the grave
