The Night Jesus Was Betrayed...

The Night Jesus Was Betrayed…


 


I wonder what it was like the


 night Jesus was betrayed…


I’m sure the look upon his face was


one of sadness displayed.


 


The one whom he had called a disciple…


To be among friends…


Sold him for a few pieces of silver...


And soon Christ’ trial began…


 


Judas… Who betrayed him had


 a last chance to be forgiven.


But refused to “change the course”


 in the way he was livin.’


 


His life came to a  quick and sudden death…


He had a chance to repent before


he took his last breath.


 


How many of us have betrayed


this one who loves us?


God gave us his son…


But can he really “trust us?”


 


Will you take and sell that which


 God has given to you?


Will you turn your back on the


one who says; “I LOVE YOU?”


 


Christ has given to you the


best he could give…


Think of his sacrifice…  Each day you live…


 


Please don’t “sell out” for a few


pieces of silver or gold…


Jesus can give you eternal life


 and his glory to behold!


 


Won’t you accept God’s gift


with an opened heart?


Allow him to give you a new beginning… 


And a fresh start!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
