THE KISS OF BETRAYAL
Few things rend the heart like betrayal. Christ’s knowing eyes ripped the smiling facade off Judas so fast his adrenaline probably plummeted. I would be interested to know just how long Satan hung around in Judas’s body. The devil is such a user. He probably dumped the fraud the moment the betrayal was complete. Imagine Judas being on his own with the realization of what he had just done. It proved to be more than he could stand. The devil had not “made him do it,” but he had certainly empowered him. Another inside job—Satan’s favorite. In the most literal sense, Judas came near to Christ with his mouth that night, but his heart remained far from Him ( Isa. 29:13).
