Do you feel betrayed?

10/8/2013

Have you ever been betrayed? Someone  close to you was disloyal, your friend, a person you least expected it  from.

To be betrayed can be hurtful and naturally painful, but what is Gods  response to betrayal?

 Position yourself as a leader. You have a board of deacons whom have been  with you for a long time. Then it is revealed to you that one of them will  betray you. At that moment you are having a meal with them on the same table,  eating with your enemy.


This is what happened to Jesus. 
Have you ever thought of what other  things could  have happened when Jesus was eating with the disciple he knew would  betray
him? Various accounts of this incident can be found in Matthew 26: 20 –  29, Mark 14: 17 – 21, Luke 22: 21 – 23 and John 13: 21 – 30. Jesus  could  have threaten Judas or dealt with him otherwise but he did not. How  exactly did  Jesus respond? He told Judas the consequences of his actions  and continued  business as usual. The ordinance of breaking of bread was established there  right in front of his enemy with all the emotions of  being betrayed by a person close to him.


 Our human  reasoning cannot comprehend how Jesus responded, but one thing is sure.  Jesus committed it into the hands of the father. 1 Peter 2:22 – 23 “Who  did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was  reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but   committed himself to  him that judgeth righteously:”


Thank God  for Jesus and the great example he has set for us. Do you feel  betrayed?  Forgive and commit yourself to him that judgeth righteously. Remember   that Romans 12:19 – says ‘Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather  give  place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will  repay, saith the  Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink:  for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on   his head’. There is no point in  trying to fight Gods battles.


   You may not always be able to explain  betrayal. Don’t blame  yourself. Did Jesus not pray before he choose his  disciples? He sure did.   Rather commit yourself to him that judgeth righteously.  Romans 8:28 –  says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them  that   love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”


In  the time of betrayal, run to God, the rock of your refuge. He will protect  you and guard your heart and mind. Don’t respond in the flesh but commit   yourself to the bishop and shepherd of your soul.

Bisi, This is good reminder about Jesus' betrayal. When I started reading your post, I immediately thought of a betrayal my husband experienced. But then as you shared about Jesus' betrayal, the lesson sunk in more. How hard that must have been. Thank you for the analogy so we can remember what He went through even better.
Blessings, Amy

Thanks Amy, the Lord is touched with the feelings of our infirmities as that's why He came as a man. We have a great example. God bless

With maturity come greater responsibility...being willing, when offended to stretch out our arms and choose to say, 'Father I choose to forgive in the Name of Jesus. If they know what they were doing, they wouldn't have done it." And then just let it all go so we are free to be channels of God's love and blessing.
