Numbers 10:1-11:23Mark 14:1-21
Psalm 51:1-19
Proverbs 10:31-32
Mark 14: 10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the leading priests to arrange to betray Jesus to them. 11 They were delighted when they heard why he had come.
Everybody hates Judas. We all know that he was a horrible person, willing to betray Christ so easily. But, what about those priests? How is it that the priests came so far, and yet forgot all of who God was and what he was about? They are actually happy that someone had betrayed Jesus! They were glad for the chance to destroy another person! This reminds me, that it is possible to know God's word, know of God's salvation, and do God's work, while totally and completely missing God. The priests were glad to destroy Jesus, just like Judas was. They delighted in evil and hated that which was good. How about us? Do we really know him? Have we really bought into his will and passion? Or, are we out to destroy him in the name of our faith?
