Treachery | Rev. David Pileggi

Christ Church Jerusalem

Belief, in modern minds, can be relegated to the realm of simple thought. But when Jesus commands belief, He means obedience–a kind of holistic behavior that reveals underlying belief. So when self-professed "believers" in Jesus pick and choose when to obey Him, they stir up in themselves the beginnings of eventual treachery. Even Judas' infamous betrayal of Jesus began as nothing more than a simple turning away from Jesus. May we ever prepare our hearts to repent of our own budding treacheries. Readings: Joshua 24:1-2a, 14-18; Psalm 34:15-22; John 6:56-71
