Homily | April 1, 2026 | Betrayal Starts Long Before The Kiss (Episode 74)

Published 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

Spy Wednesday draws a hard line between surrender and calculation, placing Jesus’ obedient openness beside Judas’ quiet decision to betray. We sit with the question that matters most in Holy Week: not what we say, but where our heart is leaning right now. 
• Spy Wednesday as the moment ambiguity ends and decisions form 
• Isaiah’s portrait of Christ speaking strength to the weary 
• Obedience as the source of Jesus’ power and freedom 
• Chosen surrender as strength rather than weakness 
• Judas’ question turning relationship into transaction 
• Sin as strategy through compromise, timing, and justification 
• The disciples’ humility in asking “Lord, is it me?” 
• The danger of going through motions while the heart checks out 
• Calling him “Rabbi” instead of “Lord” as spiritual distance 
• Holy Week as an intentional choice to surrender again
