“Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”
Matthew 26:14-25
(Old me) Jesus different yes! You think I eating with anybody who trying to mash me up? Steups! If it was me, I woulda done tell the whole crew about Judas, watch nah! Nobody in that squad was talking to he again!!!! But Jesus, really different!
I read this scripture passage with greater compassion now. I am grateful for the loving God we serve, for I am often like Judas, going to Mass every Sunday appearing to be the perfect friend to Jesus, and sometimes (even before I leave the church) I betray him with my thoughts, words and deeds.
Judas betrayed him for 30 pieces of silver, sometimes I do it just for a sweet gossip or the promise of a julie mango.
Sometimes we share unkind stories about others, reveling in their demise. We see their sins but not ours; not realizing how we betray our heavenly Father.
The Good news is that we serve a loving God who never condemns but continues to break bread with us in spite of our failings.
