🔹 Palm Sunday 2025 – The Kiss of Betrayal 🔹
✝️ Matthew 26:17-28; 47-49
What do we do when we’ve been betrayed? How do we respond when trust is broken? On Palm Sunday, we explore one of the most painful moments in Jesus’ life: betrayal by someone he called a friend.
In this powerful message, Matt unpacks Jesus’ final meal with his disciples and the shocking kiss of betrayal from Judas. Yet instead of distancing himself, Jesus draws Judas closer—even sharing bread with him from the same bowl. What kind of love welcomes the betrayer to the table?
📖 “It is one who has shared meals with me as an intimate friend.” – Matthew 26:23
💬 Key themes in this talk:
1️⃣ Jesus’ Betrayal Wasn’t a Surprise – He saw it coming, and yet didn’t run.
2️⃣ Proximity and Grace – Jesus doesn’t push us away in our failure—He pulls us closer.
3️⃣ Forgive Like Jesus – We’re called to model a forgiveness that transforms.
4️⃣ Jesus Took Our Betrayal to the Cross – He died with it so we could rise with Him.
🤯 Whether it’s the betrayal of a friend, a broken promise, or our own failings—this talk reminds us that Jesus sees it all and still chooses the cross. His table is open. His embrace is near. His forgiveness is total.
🙌 Join us this Holy Week as we walk toward the cross, and the empty tomb.
