Day 9 Learn of Christ: Jesus Christ, Betrayal of

Christ Looks at Judas 

"Though craven friends betray thee, they feel thy love's embrace" (Hymns, 197).  

Jesus was always and ever will be a true friend; He will always hold out the branch of forgiveness. However, if you yield to Satan's lures to betray Christ for worldly glory, never forget that "it all comes around."

Promised power, money, fame, or authority to do the Evil One's bidding only ensnares the gullible. Satan will turn and betray you soon enough, and you'll soon find that he never intended to share his glory or power with you at all. 

Instead, awakened to the snare, you'll seek to turn back time and redo your past choices. Then, like Judas, you'll toss the "30 pieces of silver" away, but you won't be able to escape the hell of once yielding your soul to Satan.
