Betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss?
Luke 22:48
"The kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
--Let me be on my guard when the world puts on a loving face, for it will, if possible, betray me as it did my Master, with a kiss.
--Whenever a man is about to stab religion, he usually professes very great reverence for it. Let me beware of the sleek-faced hypocrisy which is armor-bearer to heresy and infidelity.
The young man, void of understanding, was led astray by the kiss of the strange woman: may my soul be so graciously instructed all this day, that "the much fair speech" of the world may have no effect upon me. Holy Spirit, let me not, a poor frail son of man, be betrayed with a kiss!
Q: But what if I should be guilty of the same accursed sin as Judas, that son of perdition?
Q: But what if I should be guilty of the same accursed sin as Judas, that son of perdition?
--I have been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;
--I am a member of his visible Church;
--I sit at the communion table:
all these are so many kisses of my lips.
O God, forbid that I should be a high-soaring professor, and then fall at last into the lake of fire, because I betrayed my Master with a kiss."
Charles Spurgeon
