Mark 14:43-50 - Homilies By A.f. Muir
The betrayal.
I. A TRANSCENDENT CRIME . Because of:
1 . The character of Jesus .
2 . The betrayer's relations to him. Ingratitude. Callous selfishness. Breach of trust .
3 . Circumstances of the act . Intrusion upon holy retirement. Simulation of highest regard and purest sentiment. The spiritual interests of humanity trifled with.
II. A SUPREME FOLLY AND FAILURE . Overdone. Foreseen. Ending in contempt and misery.—M.
