Matthew 26:48
“The
man
whom
I kiss
is the
man,
arrest
him.”
May
we,
follow-
ing
her
ex-
ample,
seek
after
your
wisdom
and live
according
to your way
I had gone looking for a picture that showed the hubbub & the movement & chaos and noise of the crowd that night, maybe because it is the season of party con-ventions, & I am reminded how quickly the unthinking throngs become dangerous. When I found this picture by Giotto I thought it was the one. But then I came across this
statue of the moment of betrayal frozen in time in all it’s in-timacy and that was it. A moment. A man. A decision.
Up close & person-
al. Arresting. Our lives as followers
of Christ are lived
in the midst of community but each
decision, moment by moment, is a mo-
ment of choice by
us alone.
