30 PIECES OF SILVER (Part 3) • ”Trading Jesus for Safety”
Monday Mar 27, 2023
Monday Mar 27, 2023
• This Series: We’d all like to think we’re nothing like Judas the betrayer, who traded Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. An honest look at our hearts reveals, however, that we all have things we trade for Christ every day. Whether it’s comfort, power, control, or some other idol, we all make our exchanges. As we approach Easter, this series invites us to repent and treasure Christ above every idol and temptation.
• This Week: Following Jesus has never been easy. In our post-Christian American culture, it is not popular to follow Jesus. Increasingly, believers are facing opposition, ridicule, and rejection for their faith. Therefore, it is all too easy to quietly trade Jesus for safety. Every one of the disciples did this in the face of arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. Peter did this again when he was accused of being a disciple of Jesus. When facing opposition, what will trigger the Judas in you?
Key Phrase: “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” Matthew 26:42
