Whenever we read the story of Judas’ betrayal, it is so easy for us to dismiss it utterly from having anything to do with us. ‘I would never betray Jesus,’ we say to ourselves. However, the uncomfortable truth is that the only ones who could possible betray Jesus are those who are first close to him. For that reason alone it makes sense to take a closer look at Luke 22:1-6 and ask ourselves some hard questions about our own loyalty to Jesus and His kingdom.
