Judas' Kiss: Betrayal, Hypocrisy, and Early Christianity #shorts

Lesson Transcript

Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss because that would have been an ordinary way to greet a friend, and of course he was doing it horribly hypocritically. I'm not sure why he chose that, just to show his devious nature, I guess. There's a couple of quotes there from early Christians. I'm not going to read them because they bring out the same thing: examples of people kissing one another. In both cases, it's a man kissing a man, showing giving them as a kiss or showing that they have peace among themselves.

Now today, in our country here in the United States, that's not a normal thing. Join us in earnestly contending for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
