The Betrayer’s Kiss
If you were in Church last week, you heard me tell the story about Perry Noble’s little girl. She tried to kiss him right after she kissed the lid of the toilet. He said it made him think about how we kiss the toilet of this world all week long and then go to church on Sunday and try to kiss God. I don’t know about you, but that has stuck in my head all week.
It made me think about when Judas went to the garden to sell out Jesus. He had just kissed the world and struck a deal with the devil and now he is in the garden leaning in to kiss the Lord. And here is what stikes me to the “core”, Jesus let him. WOW!!! He didn’t back away but he let him kiss him, even though it was the kiss of a betrayer. How much must God love us, when He sends His Son into this world to receive the betrayer’s kiss (from us) time and time again, and yet He still goes to the cross and pays the ultimate price for our sins so we can have a right relatonship with Him again.
So, before you slap one on the world again, think long and hard about God’s Love.
