The Beginning of the End

“Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs, who were from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.  Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying “Whomever I kiss, He is the one, seize Him and lead Him away under guard.” 

After coming, Judas immediately went to Him, saying, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

They laid hands on Him and seized Him.” 

Mark 14:43-46

It is hard to imagine that something good could come out of such an injustice.  Jesus was betrayed by one of His own disciples.  This man of peace, who healed the sick and blessed the children, was led away under guard.

Jesus departed, as He lived:  humbly.
