The First Betrayal

No-one knows why Judas decided to meet with the religious leaders, but the day (Wednesday) before the Passover celebration he met with them in secret. For the religious leaders, this was a miraculous opportunity. That someone who would know Jesus’ movements over the next couple of days would turn up totally unsolicited. Between them they agreed that Judas would act as their spy and all he needed to do was inform them of where Jesus would be alone. They would do the rest.

No-one knows it yet, but this act is the final piece which sets into motion a perfect combination of events which will ultimately lead to Jesus’ execution.
