Luke 22:48

Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss.

In this poignant moment of betrayal, Jesus asks Judas, “Would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” The kiss was meant to be a symbol of affection, trust, and friendship, but Judas used it as a signal to betray Jesus into the hands of His enemies. This moment reveals the depth of Judas’ betrayal and the heartbreaking contrast between genuine love and treacherous deception. A kiss, which should have been an expression of loyalty and affection, became the instrument of Jesus' betrayal. For us, this verse speaks to the tragic reality that betrayal often comes from those closest to us, those we trust the most. It calls us to reflect on the nature of true friendship and loyalty and challenges us to guard against the deceitful tendencies in our own hearts. Judas’ kiss is a painful reminder that even those who appear to be our friends may turn on us, but Jesus' response shows His unshakable trust in God’s sovereign plan.
