Right Thinking: With a Kiss, You Are Betraying Me? (10/29/23)

Going Through the Motions - Right Thinking: Do You Betray Me With a Kiss? (Luke 22)

If you really want to go deeper, if you really long to be transformed by the renewing of your mind - you have to ask yourself the tough questions. Judas, for whatever reason, had just been going through the motions. The kiss of a rabbi was a kind courtesy - but we see the pure evil in his taking what was to be an act of devotion and affection - and we realize he was just going through the motions. Likewise, we too can just go through the motions. Are the rhythms and movement of your life flowing out of genuine devotion and delight in the Lord, or is it just like the betrayer's kiss? All for show.  Do you delight in the Lord? Does your life reveal your deepest affections? Don't be blowing kisses when what He wants his total devotion.
