This is about 3 kisses. While going through Jesus’ life we can see that he had accepted 3 types of kisses.

One was an obvious thing, kiss from his mother!
Second one from Judas Iscariot!
Third one from Mary Magdalene!

All these kisses are different from one another. You can not kiss Jesus like his mother did. Christians never dream to kiss Jesus’ like Judas. All that we can do is a kiss like Magdalane! To seek forgiveness! To say Sorry ! To get permission to follow Him!

This blog is not big enough to describe the real depth and breadth of biblical aspects.
Yet I am trying to say a few words about Judas!!

In my childhood, I had a doubt about Judas’ Kiss!!!

Why should Judas betray Jesus with a Kiss?

My father is a great teacher of mine. In his point of view…

“Jews [priests] afraid to catch Jesus on day time, while Jesus’ followers are with him.So they planned to catch him on night.”

“So why Judas? Why can’t Priests go ahead and catch him?”, Always I am an interrupter ! (thokkil keri vedi vekkuka ennu parayum !!)

“Jesus is a typical Jew…with mustache and beard... even he might looks like Peter or Andrew. Jews wears a scarf. So it is not so easy to identify Jesus among his disciples at night. So Priests want a man who knows Jesus well.”

“Why kiss then” – A genuine doubt right?

“Yeah… it is a very good code, isn’t it? If Judas points out Jesus with his finger, do you think that other disciples would leave him with out trouble. While kissing Jesus, other disciples never get a clue about a betrayal”

“He has many disciples…why Judas?”, I want to just confuse my father.

“yeah…he handles the money for poor and all. It is easy to corrupt a greedy man!! In Bible you can read about Judas quotes about money” [John 13:29]

Happy Good Friday !!!

"Judas betrayed him with a kiss; abusing the freedom Christ used to allow his disciples of kissing his cheek at their return when they had been any time absent. He called him, Master, Master, and kissed him; he said, Rabbi, Rabbi, as if he had been now more respectful to him than ever. It is enough to put one for ever out of conceit with being called of men Rabbi, Rabbi (Mt. 23:7), since it was with this compliment that Christ was betrayed. He bid them take him, and lead him away safely. Some think that he spoke this ironically, knowing that they could not secure him unless he pleased, that this Samson could break their bonds asunder as threads of tow, and make is escape, and then he should get the money, and Christ the honour, and no harm done; and I should think so too, but that Satan was entered into him, so that the worst and most malicious intention of this action is not too black to be supposed. Nay, he had often heard his Master say, that, being betrayed, he should be crucified, and had no reason to think otherwise."
-From the Bible Commentry of Mathew Henry
