Betrayal, Rejection - Leads to God’s will

~ Betrayal can only happen if you love. ~ John Le Carre

Have you ever been betrayed? Someone close to you was disloyal, your friend, a person you lest expected it from? Betrayal by someone we’ve held close…a friend, family member or close confidant,? This can bring some of the deepest spiritual and emotional pain, one can suffer.


 
Often we end up questioning God:
Why has this happened in my life?
Why should somebody hurt me when I have done nothing wrong to them?
Why don’t they understand me?
Why is God silent?
Why, God why?

These are the common questions we ask when we are betrayed or rejected by someone we love.

Bible Example.

Jesus Was Betrayed By his Disciple.
Matthew 26:47-50
26:47 While he was still speaking, Judas, 1  one of the twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people. 26:48 (Now the betrayer 2  had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. 3  Arrest him!”) 4  26:49 immediately 5  he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed him. 6  26:50 Jesus 7  said to him, “Friend, do what you are here to do.” Then they came and took hold 8  of Jesus and arrested him.

Some times in our lives too, people will show affection then later they will betray us. Today most of the Christian teens are betrayed by fake kisses. 

Judas' Betrayal Led Jesus to do his father’s will

I was surprised to see how Jesus was betrayed. We often forget that the betrayal led Jesus to his father’s will. If there was no betrayal in Jesus life there would have been know redemption for mankind.

Romans 8:28
"And we know that all things work together for good to those that love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose"

Today the betrayal and pain which we go through in our life will lead you to the will of the God.
