In church tradition one of the names for Holy Wednesday is
Spy Wednesday. It refers to the handing
over of Jesus to the Pharisees. I have
written before about my thoughts concerning Judas and his motives. What I wish to ponder today is how we view
Judas. We judge him so harshly when the
command is to love him.
I must not judge anyone if I am to die to self and follow
Christ. Taking up my cross means seeing
my sin and guilt and counting on the atonement of Christ to cover that. I cannot engage in judging others when my sin
is so deep. Jesus promised that the
judgment we use will be the standard by which we are judged.
In my journey toward the cross, its death, and eventual life
I must not engage in judging others. I
must look inward to my own failings and allow the grace of God to heal
them.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
