The word betray is "didomi" or can also mean betrayal. It literally means "to hand over" a person or thing. Jesus was handed over to Caiaphas and the Sanhdrin by Judas. Then handed over to Pilate by Caiaphas. A double betrayal. The implications are daunting and nefarious.
===============================================
daunting and nefarious yes, even more so when I think back and remember the
many times I betrayed, ignored, shunned Him myself...I would never be able
to live day-by-day without the assurance of His gracious, forgiving, Love for me...
making the transition from my 'old-life' has been the most incredible challenge ever
imaginable to the human mind until this very day...
I now only live to honor, please and serve my Master, Saviour, and Lord...
(this is miracle stuff)
total surrender has been a slow process for me over the years, with so many aches and pains
along the way - if He hadn't mixed-in the saving gifts of Spiritual joy and laughter, I know
without a doubt that I would have failed Him and died the common death...
TITUS 1:16.
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny H
im,
being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
1PETER 1:13-14-15-16.
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace
that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I Am holy.
my Heavenly Father has taught me how to embrace and honor the Grace He has given to me -
and how to run with it until my race is over...
I Praise His Holy Name.....
