One can only betray a friend.
This is what makes betrayal so painful.
For if an enemy had done, it would be expected;
But when it is done by a friend or a brother,
It is unexpected.
Judas had lived with Jesus for 3yrs.
He had seen all the miracles and heard all of the parables.
But he still betrayed Him.
How could he do such a thing?
We hear all of Jesus’s parables in the Gospels.
We receive His Body and Blood at Communion.
How can we betray our neighbor with Gossip?
How can we turn our back on those in need?
How can we fail to forgive those who hurt us?
The betrayal of Jesus comes in many forms great and small.
Maybe we should not be so quick to say,
“Surely, it is not I, Jesus.”
