BETRAYAL---
One Last Chance
Imagine this
You are
An itinerant preacher
Living 2000 years ago
Preaching the Word of God
You basically have 72 followers
12 very close ones
The one
That you trust the most
The one
That handles the money that you use
To help the needy and the poor
Is stealing---and you know it
You know
He is going to be your downfall
You know
He is going to take you down
Yet Your Father---God
Tells you to give him another chance
“Father
If it is possible
Take this cup from me
Yet not as I will
But as you will”
Matthew 11:39
One last chance for friendship
One last chance for love
Please take it Judas
We can live as one
“Yet not as my will Lord
Your will be done”
What about us Dear Lord
When we turn away from you
To follow our selfish needs of this world
We know you are always waiting
for us
With one more chance
What about us Dear Lord
When our friends let us down
Help us to have the courage
As you did with Judas
To give them one more chance
One last chance for friendship
One last chance for love
Not my will Lord
But yours
Your will be done
After all the time
That Judas had spent with Judas
He couldn’t accept him
Like Peter and the others
Judas his heart hardened
By the choices he had made
Was closed
Sold his friend
For 30 pieces of silver
Sold out his friend’s love
Hung himself in Potter’s field
Finally realizing what he had done
Lord
When others betray us
In this world
Help us to have the spirit of forgiveness
That you had for Judas
One last chance for friendship
One last chance for love
“Not my will Lord
But Yours
Your will be done”
ONE LAST CHANCE FOR LOVE
