j g bellettThe Moral Glories of Our Lord -  A devotion regarding the Moral Glory in the character of the Lord Jesus.  All of his life went up to God as a sacrifice of sweet savour. Every expression of Himself in every measure, however small, and in whatever relationship it was rendered, was incense to his father.  Whatever Adam lacked, the Lord fulfilled completely in his perfect life.  J G Bellett was a brother from the United Kingdeom who wrote his works in the 1800's.

 Judas Betrays Jesus

Talking Points:

Point 1: Judas has made his bargain and now comes to do his deed. Thinks perhaps that there is safety in numbers and comes with a multitude. His way to identify the Lord Jesus is with a kiss (perhaps that had been his customary way of greeting him).
Point 2: The Saviour calls him "Friend" - was there something that the Saviour found so appealing about him in spite of his betrayal Cf Ps.55.21, Ps. 41:9. Peter tries to defend the One who has all-power. Seems like a noble act but the Saviour acts more nobly still by putting the ear back and reminding Peter that if He were to call, the angelic legions would respond.
Point 3: The anguish of rejection, the accusations and afflictions of His trial and the pain of Calvary could be avoided but how then could the scriptures be fulfilled? Note - the importance of the scriptures to Him Matt. 26:54,56.
Point 4: All His disciples forsake Him utterly and flee. So much for brave words and best intentions. He is left alone to face the heartless venom of men's sinful hearts.
