Poem
Betrayed There is no greater shock when you discover one whom you trusted has stabbed you secretly in the back, no not necessarily with a physical blade but the pain of it is just as real even though your blood it did lack. Have you ever felt that cold blade of steel as it pierces your unsuspecting heart from within, usually , it is a friend or loved one of your who curses the day you were born and treats you like you were as ugly as sin. How Jesus must have wept even though from the start He knew who Judas was, a liar and a thief, his heart was set to deliver to His executioners this Precious Lamb of God from above. Even I, myself, have ministered and prayed for such a one only to have them turn their back on me and lie, speaking half truths to others that I was to have spoken until I had whispered to my Father, “Oh, Lord, just let me die”. But then imagine, our Christ Jesus the perfect, sinless, Son of Almighty God, sent here to die in our place, to have one of His twelve disciples as it were to spit in His beautiful face. Betrayed, such a horrible thought yet most of us proudly think, “why, I would never do that”, but have you ever denied knowing the Lord by your words or your actions do people know what level your faith in Him is at? Stop at this very moment and take stock of how you are living your life, and if you cannot say with clear conscience I’ve not betrayed Him then ask Him to wash away every sin, for only then you’ll be ready when you die.
