Do not Betray Jesus for the Things of this World
Teaching:
The work of Satan is betraying Jesus for the things of this world.
Judas intended it for evil but God intended it for good.
The difference between Judas and Peter is repentance.
Application:
Do not love the world because betraying Jesus starts with loving the world.
Be honest because integrity starts with honesty.
Be quick to repent and always revisit the cross.
Discussion:
How have we betrayed Jesus for the things of this world? And why should we always revisit the cross?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, forgive me because sometimes I choose the things of this world over You. Forgive me for falling into the temptations of Satan. Forgive me for loving the things of this world—lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. I repent. Your crucified body on the cross tells me the gravity of my sins. At the same time, Your cross tells me how wide, how deep, how enormous Your love is. Thank You Jesus. Let me love You worthy of Your love. I come to You in Your name, amen!
