Scripture

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the leading priests and asked, “How much will you pay me to betray Jesus to you?” And they gave him thirty pieces of silver. From that time on, Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus. (Matthew 26:14-16)

Meditation

The son of God was betrayed by a friend. The son of God was betrayed by his creation for thirty pieces of silver.

Reflection

What does it feel like to be betrayed?

Consider the price Judas received for his betrayal - thirty pieces of silver. Reflect on compromising one's values or integrity for material gain. In what areas of your life do you feel tempted to compromise your values? What do such compromises cost you?
