Kiss the Son and Betray Him or Kiss the Son and Revere Him
Buried in baptism, words of commitment, regular church attendance — kisses for the Son. Yet, the lack of study, a weak prayer life, a lying tongue — oh the list can go on and on. My betrayal, hurting the One who sacrificed it all for me. Jesus hung on the cross for my sins as I hang onto excuses and minimal service. How often do I kiss the Son and betray Him?
As Jesus sits on the floor dinning with His disciples, the young woman slowly slips behind Him. Bending low the sinful woman of the city washes His feet with her sorrowful tears. Wiping the dirt away with her long, dark hair, she repeatedly kisses His calloused feet. A look of disapproval is not a deterrent (Luke 7:36-50). The Pharisee, and probably others in attendance, know of her public sins. Humbled by her sinful state, she has much for which to be forgiven. Jesus recognizes her pure heart and determination to serve and thus forgives her sins.
How often do I kiss the Son and revere Him? Sharing Christ's word with others, placing my Savior above all else, diligently seeking His truths — exalting the One who set me free from sin (Rom. 6:18). Do I reflect Christ in my life: in my actions, thoughts, words (II Cor. 3:18)? Kiss the Son and Betray Him or Kiss the Son and Revere Him.
