Some people become famous, or infamous, for stunning acts
of betrayal. Just think of Brutus, who betrayed Julius
Caesar;
Benedict Arnold, who betrayed the American Revolutionaries;
Joseph’s brothers, who betrayed him; and Judas Iscariot,
who
betrayed Jesus.
The word betray means “to violate a
trust and to willfully expose
a friend to the enemy.” Betrayal is acts of treason, and it’s among
the most difficult injustices to handle. Millions of people today are
wounded by a sense of being betrayed by a husband, wife,
parent, or loved one.
Jesus predicted that the Last Days would be full of
people who “will betray one another, and will hate
one another” (Matthew 24:10).
But God will never betray His faithfulness to you.
Twentieth-century evangelist, Wilbur J. Chapman,
wrote this hymn: “Jesus! What a friend for sinners!
Jesus! Lover of my soul; / Friends may fail me, foes
assail me; He, my Savior, makes me whole.”
Jesus promised to be with us to the end of the age,
and He will never let you down. Even when you feel
overwhelmed, remember, you’re actually undergirded.
He is faithful!
"Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end."
Wilbur J. Chapman
