Revelation the betrayal of Judas
Aside from the scope of the symbol it is, the Last Supper that Jesus is with His apostles is also a busy time of seriousness and truth. Jesus took the opportunity to make the twelve He chose a double revelation:
1. The first is that this is the last meal of fellowship that He is with them. It's in God's kingdom only be repeated next time now. The institution of the Eucharist by Jesus announced the imminent realization of the truths it illustrates. The death of Jesus, the gift of His life in sacrifice for sin, is only a matter of hours.
2. the second is that it's within the group among whom it happens, one that leaves the book to His enemies. Listening to the words of Jesus about the traitor, we do not feel any hatred from Him. The sentiment behind it is rather sad and spite for him. If He will die by the effect of his treachery, Jesus said the most unfortunate of them is not him, but he who denies the. Jesus' death will be a moment of extreme pain, immeasurable. It result, however, by the power of God, a joy unspeakable and a victory. The profit, cons, the one who denies the will void. Not only does he enjoy anything in what it has done this act of treason, but his gesture opens the doors of eternal misery! How terrible it is, tell the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, to fall into the hands of the living God: Heb 10.31.
A big internal debate in the form of inquiry will, in the eyes of Jesus, following the latest revelation that He has done. One can imagine the mood in which it occurred, each seeking the depths of his memory index that will track the culprit.
While we get together around Jesus to take the Supper, we would like to think that this moment is for everyone and the whole Church, where he is best expressed our common worship Lord. Paul reminds us that this moment must above all be an opportunity for us to truth, a moment where each one examine himself before God and be judged: 1 Cor 11.23 to 31. For if, like Judas, we can do well, God knows our hearts. He knows exactly what is there. And if we do believe not ourselves, that his trial that we run. God will not endure, because we add to the lie that we live in hypocrisy and dissimulation. God gives us in all circumstances, and even more when we take the sacrament, testament to our willingness to be in communion with him saw the light: 1 John 1.6 to 7, to be real men !
