Gigantic Betrayal
by
Solomon Machardson
Is there a
more gigantic betrayal
Than the one that made Lord Jesus cry out,
"Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachttham" -
My God, why has Thou forsaken me?
Just like you, Jesus life began
As a seed in his mother’s womb;
The seed sprouted into a baby
And the baby blossomed into a boy
And the boy bloomed into a man
And the man ripened into a prophet
And the prophet preached the Love of Neighbours.
But, the Garden of Gethsemane proved
That his teaching had fallen on deaf ears!
Though his life was in danger,
Yet Jesus alone kept vigil;
His apostles went to sleep!
Then Judas betrayed him with a kiss!
And Saint Peter denied him three times!
And, the last straw of all, was the cross!
What a gigantic betrayal it was!
