Judas Isn't So Lonely

Monday. Luke 22: 3-6. 21-23. 47-49.

Judas stands out through history as a man utterly despised because he betrayed his friend, and, worse yet. who did it by the use of friendship’s token of love. But — but — be careful, there, in talking about Judas! Is he so lonely after all? He simply put self-interest first, even though it meant putting Jesus second; no, not second — clear out! Is this so uncommon? Judas did not realize how much it meant. Does anyone realize what his faithlessness may mean?
