Scripture: Mark 14: 17-19
17 In the evening Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 As they were at the table[c] eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me here will betray me.” 19 Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one?”
Scripture Commentary:
Ask the question, “Am I the one?” When I wake up in the morning, do I thank God for yesterday and for the new day that He is giving me? What can I do for God today? Am I being Christ-like? And do I greet people with love and kindness? If I go into the world not as God’s servant, I am betraying Him.
We are like Judas when we harm or forget others as we go about our life. Jesus invited all his disciples, including Judas, to the supper. Likewise, Jesus invites all of us sinners to his table. Since Jesus invites us to sit with him, can’t we do the same for someone else? All of us are sinners so why deny someone we have a problem with?
We don’t have to be like Judas who, in his cold-blooded hypocrisy, sat and shared the meal with Jesus. We condemn Judas for what he did; however, when we deny Jesus with our lifestyle we are no different.
Don’t deny Jesus’s love through your disobedience. Be a servant of Christ.
