What happens when betrayal comes from someone we trust, and how do we move forward when someone close to us turns against us? In this message from Luke 22:1-6, 47-53, Pastor Billy explores Judas’s betrayal of Jesus, the motives behind his treachery, and the sobering reality of the power of darkness at work in a broken world. Through Judas’s story, we see how greed, unrepentant sin, and misplaced expectations can lead us away from Christ, even as God’s sovereign purposes continue to unfold. But this passage also points us toward Jesus, who faced betrayal without abandoning His mission. His example shows us how to acknowledge the wounds others inflict without allowing their choices to define our lives or determine our future. At the same time, we are challenged to examine our own hearts and ask whether we have ever betrayed the trust of someone else. If you’ve ever experienced the pain of betrayal, struggled to move forward after trust was broken, or wondered how to respond when someone you love turns against you, this message is for you.
