Most of Your Friends Are As Fake As They Come
By Alberta Parish
Jesus, the most perfect man to ever walk the earth, had this one friend named Judas Iscariot. Judas was one of the original twelve disciples who walked with Jesus, claimed to have known who Jesus was, ate with Jesus, laughed with Jesus, but Judas was also one of those friends who stole from Jesus, and had eventually betrayed Jesus. Judas had a treacherous heart, which led to his thievery and his betrayal of Jesus to the Romans and Jewish chief priests that resulted in Jesus’ crucifixion. Judas had walked with Jesus for three and a half years, and the night that Judas had betrayed Jesus, he did it by kissing Jesus on the cheek, which was used to identify Jesus to those who had come to arrest Him.
The moral of this story is if a close friend betrayed Jesus, do not think that none of the people in your close circle (your best friend) won’t also betray you. Integrity is something a lot of people in Agginville USAs all over the country seem to be missing. What is integrity? To have integrity is to have a sense of honesty and self-respect as integrity relates to one’s actions or motivations, whether within oneself or toward others. A lot of people are not even honest with themselves, and they can’t stand when somebody comes along who is very honest or forthcoming because it exposes them for the fakes that they are. A lot of people really can’t handle the truth, especially as it relates to them. Not only can’t they handle the truth as it is being told to them, but they also don’t want to deal with the truth. Watch those treacherous people that claim to be your friend.
Even though Jesus knew exactly who Judas was and what Judas was about, sometimes you often are blind when it comes to knowing exactly who your friends really are. Unfortunately, there are more fakes in the world than genuine people. Sad, but this is the world. And the world really has no friends.
