SCRUTATIO SCRIPTURAE
HOLY WEDNESDAY
What would you feel if your best friend will betray you with 30 pieces of silver coins (which is equivalent to 30 days wages for workers in the time of Jesus) to those who would want to kill you?
I'm sure it will cost you so much pain and you would not even dare to forgive that friend of yours, right?
But that is not the case with Jesus... He would still love that friend of His, Judas Iscariot that He is willing to die even for this treacherous friend of His...
Most of the time, we are like Judas, we tend to replace Jesus, who is the WELLSPRING OF LIFE with something worthless... with the lures of this world... as long as it gives us pleasure... such is our selfishness...
BUT JESUS LOVES US, AND HE IS WILLING TO DIE FOR US, TO SAVE US, EVEN IF WE DON'T WANT HIM TO... EVEN AMIDST OF OUR UNFAITHFULNESS, GOD IS ALWAYS AND FOREVER WILL BE FAITHFUL TO YOU AND I! SUCH IS GOD'S LOVE FOR US!
