The Kiss of Betrayal

Bits and Pieces is just that. A little bit taken from a post, and a piece taken from another post. A bit here and a piece there all gathered into many bits and pieces to add to your understanding of the beauty of scriptural math. There is more to know about the number 4.

   Judas tried to cover his wickedness by using the Lord’s title of Master, this also shows us the awareness of Judas that Christ was the Master and this made his betrayal a greater and deeper evil so that God in the end would send Judas to a place prepared specifically for him. Judas received the judgment as a betrayer of the Son of man. And to make this even deeper yet, he betrayed the Son of man with a kiss. This is the only time that it is documented that one of the twelve kissed the Lord Jesus Christ, and it was a kiss of betrayal. This kiss is mentioned four (4) times in regard to Judas in his betrayal, thus, connecting the earth number (the number of sinful man) to the kiss of betrayal showing that all of mankind is guilty of betraying God. The conscience of Judas as the Scripture declares was seared with a hot iron. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron. (1st Timothy 4:2) In the betrayal of the Son of man, the Lord of glory, the guile and evil heart of mankind cannot be measured. In my own lifetime I have seen the depth and the deepness of Satan’s evil in this world. Man spews out guile as easily as he breathes. Governments treat the lives of their subject as dust, and they too betray their subjects with a kiss and a promise that they never intend to keep.

   The kiss of Judas was a kiss of death, not life. Judas had an opportunity to fall down and to kiss the Master’s feet, but he did not. What a contrast between Judas and the woman in Simon’s house who would not stop kissing the feet of Jesus, and worshiped Him. But Simon would not even give the Lord of glory a kiss. Judas was the son of Simon (we do not know who this particular Simon refers to because there are many men called Simon in the New Testament). But there is much contained in the name of Simon throughout the New Testament, this Simon in the gospel of Luke, Chapter 7 gave the Master no kiss.
