Mark 14:9-10 KJV
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
What a contrast is here in just two verses!
The story of one is of sacrifice and selflessness; of devotion and love for the Lord. The story of the other is one of deceit and betrayal. Judas used his relationship with Christ, not to advance the work of God or to minister to the Son of God, but to betray Him with his kiss.
And so it is with man. There are those who demonstrate such passion and devotion for the Lord that we are compelled to awe. There are others who, having every reason to surrender in sublime love to the Saviour, turn from Him in ways of such bitterness and awfulness that we are compelled to horror.
Oh Lord, let us be the former of the two!

What a contrast is here in just two verses!
- Two people are pointed in the Scripture whose stories will never be forgotten.
- Two people whose testimonies have been and will forever continue to be the topic of Christian conversation.
And so it is with man. There are those who demonstrate such passion and devotion for the Lord that we are compelled to awe. There are others who, having every reason to surrender in sublime love to the Saviour, turn from Him in ways of such bitterness and awfulness that we are compelled to horror.
