Mark 14:17-21 (Part 1)
Betrayal. It is an incredibly painful word. It is more than just hurting someone for gain. It is more than just wishing an adversary ill. It is far more than even desiring the death of an enemy.
Betrayal. What makes it so painful is that betrayal implies – indeed, is defined by – a breech of trust. It means that someone trusted you, cared for you, counted on you, perhaps loved you. And yet despite all of that you did that person harm.
Betrayal. It also implies that the breech of trust was intentional. An accident is one thing, but betrayal implies a conscious, knowing, deliberate act of using the trust someone has placed in you against that person.
