A KISS IS STILL A KISSkiss      

 

What's the most famous kiss of all time? Some would say that it's the picture of Edith Shain kissing a sailor on VJ day at the end of WWII.  "The picture," according to Edith, "says so many things - hope, love, peace and tomorrow. The end of the war was a wonderful experience, and that photo represents all those feelings."
 

Another kiss, many years earlier, represents the opposite of Edith's kiss. Judas Iscariot's kiss represents despair, betrayal, war, and treachery. If Edith Shain's kiss is the most famous of all time, then Judas' kiss is the most infamous.

 

I hope you can join us this weekend as we continue our look at the last 24 hours of our Lord's life and focus on "The Betrayal."

 

Embracing the journey,

Pastor Rick
