Moment of Meditation: Betrayed

MESSIANIC PROPHECY: Betrayed

Psalm 41:9

Even my best friend, my confidant,

who has eaten my bread will stab me in the back.

John 13:26

Jesus said, “I will dip a piece of bread in My cup and give it to the one who will betray Me.”

He dipped one piece in the cup and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. After this occurred, Satan entered into Judas.

Thought:

“Et tu, Brute! Then fall, Caesar.” Those were Caesar's last words in Shakespeare's play. Caesar was absolutely surprised by the betrayal. Jesus knew it was coming. He had given David the prophecy a millennium beforehand. And Jesus didn't make it not happen. Jesus wanted it to happen because the chief priests and scribes had already determined not to arrest Jesus during the Feast. But Jesus was to die as the true Passover Lamb. Amen.
