"That's Nothing New"

Then one of the twelve [disciples], who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What are you willing to give me if I hand Jesus over to you?” And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment Judas began looking for an opportune time to betray Jesus.

Matthew 26:14‭-‬16 AMP

So, You're wondering how people can be close to you and still not know you, be close to you and hurt you, be close to you and not value you.

Beloved, That's nothing new...

There is nothing new under the sun according Ecclesiastes 1:9 AMPC

Judas was close to Jesus... As a disciple he walked with Him, he had full access to Him daily and was even working for Him, but still he did not know Him.

Because if he did... If he really knew Jesus, he wouldn't have traded the relationship he had with Him for 30 pieces of silver. In today's money that's only [about twenty-one dollars and sixty cents].

See: Matthew 26:15 AMPC

It wasn't a lot of money, but he let that little bit of money, that little bit of silver come between him and Jesus.

As a man, Jesus had been Judas' mentor, his trusted teacher, his provider- providing his every meal. He had been his employer- giving him a job, a position in the ministry etc.

In other words, Jesus had been good to Judas....And still he chose to betray him.

But Beloved, It's to be expected...Any time "the world" can see the light of GOD in you...They are going to hurt you, they are going to devalue you, they are going to betray you, lie on you...

Because they don't want no part of the JESUS that's in you. The bible says, He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

I John 4:4 NKJV

So, They will try to do whatever they can to bring you down to their level, but don't you do it.

Instead, Continue to let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:16 NKJ

Until Next Sunday.
