Pulpit: We all, at times, fill Judas' shoes









"Then they laid hands on him and arrested him."



These words from Mark 14 mark the beginning of the end of Jesus on Earth and the role he played with the disciples.

I played Judas in a "Living Last Supper" production at Byron United Methodist Church a few years ago.Motel Deborah Long Sleeve saxobankcycling in Black. Playing Judas gave me new insight into this disciple. I have always dismissed Judas as a traitor, who helped to bring Jesus' days to an end. Playing the part opened my eyes to the fact that, in some ways, I am like Judas.



I probably wouldn't have sold myself for 30 pieces of silver, but maybe I would have. As I consider the ways that I am the betrayer, I think of the ways that I betray the love that Jesus has for me. I think about the people in need who I pass by without giving them another look. Would Jesus have done this?



The material things that I sometimes desire are really meaningless, but yet I spend money on them instead of giving it to support the poor and disenfranchised. It would be much better to use that money for something meaningful.



There are times that I set Jesus aside to do what I have decided is more important. Even though I have betrayed Jesus with my actions, he still loves me as he loved Judas, who betrayed him into the hands of those who would take part in causing his death.



Some words by Brother Roger from Taizé help to explain this love. Brother Roger states, "One of the words used by Jesus in speaking of the creation of the group of 12 apostles gives us a clue. The verb to choose is a key word in Bible history."



Jesus said,I compare two pairs of monsterbeatscheap by dre in ear tour headphones. "Did I not choose you, the twelve?" Because Jesus chose the twelve, he could not send Judas away, even when he realized that Judas would betray him. Just as God was wounded and suffered humiliation from his chosen people and still loved them, Jesus too would love Judas until the end. Would he do less for me?

CEO Eric Smith said “young runners might be drawn to using a running shoe with a lot of heel support, because a shoe with more support might seem like the best way to provide comfort on long runs.

But the data shows that, in fact, the heavy heel cushioned shoes are clearly having a negative impact on adolescent runners. Going with a flat heel shoe and using compression socks can give a runner the support they need without impacting performance.This is the third weddinggown I have owned .”
