Can betrayal work for us?

Holy Week – April 21

Jesus is having dinner with His disciples. Decent of Him, but is this a planning session for an uprising against our oppressive leaders and the Romans?  Judas Iscariot is not pleased. I can only imagine. I heard a rumor he went to the Pharisees; maybe he’s planning on betraying Jesus to them. I’m so disappointed, but maybe people will be agitated by an arrest that something significant will happen. We can still have a revolution against oppression even if Jesus is arrested. I can only imagine what it will be like when Jesus is betrayed and arrested. I’m going to tag along and see what happens.  No one wants any violence, unless it rids us of oppressive rulers. After this Last Supper I know Jesus wants to go to the garden at Gethsemane. I heard He accused one of His disciples of betrayal. How would He know? I can only imagine. I’ll follow Him to the garden and see what comes to pass. Judas has betrayed Jesus, who is led away. Now maybe the people will rise up against those who are rich and powerful; who are oppressing us. I can only imagine.
