Lenten Series
The fourth of Lenten series
the United Church by Rev. G.
Raymer Sunday morning last
was “Judas”. Some of the things
we may live by are things like
these. Attitude and intentions
may be wrongly used in life, up
until the time of Judas’ down
fall. Jesus had hoped he could
put Judas on his fee. But
who are weak display
weakness as in Judas’ case.
He had warmed himself
than once in the deep fellowship
he had with Jesus and he turned
away. We today are still held
responsible for the Kingdom of
God; we should not betray Jesus.
