Text: Genesis 4:7; Galatians
5:16
When the eight plotters
surrounded Julius Caesar and began to attack him with their daggers, the stab
of Brutus was the most brutal and the most painful. "Et Tu, Brute?"
("Even you, Brutus?"), lamented Caesar. He was heart-broken. Brutus
was his closest and trusted friend.
Have you ever been hurt or
betrayed by a close friend? It is painful. King David suffered the same fate at
the hands of his trusted friend and counsellor, Ahitophel, who sided with
Absalom, David's son to wage war against his father; so did our Lord Jesus
Christ at the hands of Judas Iscariot.
Do you know that any sin by a
Christian is like a stab in the heart of Jesus? It is like crucifying afresh
the son of God and putting him to an open shame. When Peter openly denied
Jesus, He gave him a knowing look in pain and pity. The secret sin of a Christian is
an open scandal in heaven. Always live holy to give Christ joy, and
strive to be a trustworthy friend.
