This passage of scripture is so convicting as I read again about Judas' betrayal. Judas called Jesus his "Rabbi", teacher. And with a sign of affection, he betrayed the Lord. I'm convicted because I can recall times when I've given Jesus the same kind of "lip service" without standing up for Him as I should. It's good to be reminded of that so I can ask Jesus for forgiveness, and, strengthened in His grace, face the next situation differently.
Jesus, I'm sorry for each and every time that I've abandoned You for convenience or fear. Thank you for Your love and Your forgiveness that covers my sins, and for proving that love for me with Your death on the cross. Give me the strength, dear Jesus, to honor You with my words and actions. Amen.
