BETRAYAL AND DENIAL

HOLY TUESDAY Year C John 13:21-33,36-38 “Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” Jesus was a victim of betrayal. You know what, the saddest thing about betrayal is it never comes from your enemies. Judas a disciple of Jesus hand Him over to the chief priest with a kiss worth 30 pieces of silver. (Halik ni Hudas) Nowadays, so many relationships were destroyed by a betrayal. Countless marriages were broken by unfaithfulness. Have you been betrayed and cheated by people whom you spent life with? The worst feeling is the feeling of being used and lied to. They say every jungle has a snake. Friends when someone betrays you and cheated on you it is a reflection of their character not yours. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Today’s gospel is a great reminder of God’s unconditional love. Even if we continue to betray Him by doing some crazy things (SIN) He still give His trust and He proved it by dying on the cross. If trust was broken, it will never work the same again but this is not the case for Jesus. Trust is like an eraser it gets smaller and smaller after every mistakes but this is not the case for Jesus. Trust take years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair but this is not the case for Jesus. Friends, protect yourself from abusive people by turning to Jesus. Life is full of fake people trust no one except Jesus. Pray for your betrayer. Blessings Fr. Jhack
