Durer woodcut of betrayal of Jesus
“The Betrayal of Christ”
Albrecht Dürer, 1508

 

 

Luke 17:1-3

Compare Matthew 18:6-7; Mark 9:42

 

A substantial portion of the trial of this life is dealing with the boorishness, betrayals, indifference, selfishness, dishonesty, and occasional hatred and violence of others.

 

Such things are an essential part of the test.  But those who are guilty of them will receive no divine reward for them.

 

And, of course, that includes us.
