the seat between Jesus and Judas
the enemy who became a friend on one side
the friend who became an enemy on the other
It's very awkwardly comforting
But we find ourselves in this situation many times in life
and we've learned that if you want to sit and dine with the Master,
it means that you may very well have to sit next to a Judas
But Jesus is sitting right there too
"Please pass the bread" you ask Jesus, but instead Judas picks it up and hands it to you
and when you take hold of the basket
you look at Judas
you look at the bread
you look to Jesus questioningly
and He smiles and nods reassuringly
You smile back, grab a roll, and eat with confidence
knowing that if Jesus has
blessed it
broken it
given it
you can sit back and enjoy every bite...
even if it was handed to you by your enemy
Psalm 23:5
