Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray Him (Jesus) to them. And when they heard it they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought an opportunity to betray Him. Mark 14:10, 11
Lord how sad that these chief priests were ‘glad’ that someone would be willing to betray You. Especially when it was someone that had been with You and had seen all the good You had done. Nothing mattered to Judas but the all mighty dollar – in our terms today. He wanted the money so he was willing to do what it took to get it.
How true that is of so many today. They give their lives for the almighty dollar only to find out that money doesn’t buy happiness. Oh it can for a while perhaps but then it loses its glitter.
Thank You Lord for coming to bring us a lasting happiness….a lasting joy….a lasting peace within. A peace that never leaves us. Oh how we thank You.
Thank You Lord.
