Jesus called Judas “friend” in the midst of this final act of betrayal. What do you imagine Jesus must have felt as his friend and disciple treacherously betrayed him with a kiss? Though we are not Judas, certainly we betray Jesus in those moments when we call him Lord, yet willingly choose sin. What are those moments for you? Confess those to the Lord and commit to turning away from them this Easter season. MATTHEW 26:46-50 46 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.” 47 While he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man; seize him.” 49 And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him. 50 Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you came to do.” Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him.
