Suddenly a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. Judas approached Jesus to kiss him; but Jesus said to him, "Judas, is it with a kiss that you are betraying the Son of Man?"
In Luke 22:47-53, on a dark and quiet evening, the garden where Jesus has been praying in anguish is suddenly filled with torchlight, and an aggressive crowd led by one of the twelve. The disciples' instinct is to fight but Jesus chooses another way. Find your favourite spot for prayer, grab your journal, and sit deeply with the yourself and the Lord for 20 minutes.
