| Judas and Peter |
Spy Wednesday,
Holy Wednesday,
The Wednesday before the Crucifixion.
The day that Judas Iscariot
Went to the High Priests.
For thirty pieces of silver
Judas would hand Christ over to them.
In the time that follows.
Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss.
Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss.
Peter denies Jesus thrice.
Judas dies by his own hand.
Peter dies Christ's servant
Judas dies by his own hand.
Peter dies Christ's servant
Many years later.
What is the difference?
Judas never knew forgiveness
What is the difference?
Judas never knew forgiveness
In this world.
Peter knew forgiveness
Peter knew forgiveness
From the risen Christ.
Why was one desolate onto death
Why was one desolate onto death
And the other emboldened for life?
Because Judas acted
While Peter waited?
Is that the answer?
When all is clothed in darkness,
We must wait
Because Judas acted
While Peter waited?
Is that the answer?
When all is clothed in darkness,
We must wait
For divine guidance,
Not act on impulse.
Not act on impulse.
In this Easter season,
Give us the strength
Give us the strength
To wait for God's whisper.
