White As Snow: A Haiga for Good Friday

And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me."
And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
​Mark 14:18-19 KJV

​The Last Supper, the Jewish Passover, Jesus was celebrating with his disciples, the twelve. But one would betray Him, and Jesus knew, and yet He loved him even then. He forgave him, even then.

​After the Passover meal Jesus went with His disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray.
And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
But Jesus said unto him, "Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?"
Luke 22:47-48

​But Judas couldn't accept His forgiveness. And he went out and hung himself.

I am Judas. I have betrayed Jesus. My sin is why He chose to die on a cross. He hung there for me, because of me.

Do you know sin? Do you know how it feels? It is heavy. It brings death to everything it touches. Death to God's beautiful creation​, Death to God's beautiful creatures, and death to us. It brought death to Jesus...

​Or so the enemy thought, God had other plans...
