For most people the Easter break is a time for vacation and enjoyment. Many devout Catholics however reflect on the death of Jesus, recalling to mind how Christ was tortured by the Roman soldiers, flogged on his back, made to wear a crown of thorns as he carried a huge wooden cross amid the jeers, the insults and the ridicule by unbelievers. Many people cringe at the thought of the excruciating pain Jesus must have endured on the road to Calvary to his eventual crucifixion – but few seldom reflect on the worst kind of agony the Messiah must have been going through knowing that those he loved dearly did the unthinkable: they betrayed Him.

But this Iscariot guy did something so nasty that it must have stunned beyond belief the rest of the apostles - Jesus' 12. As followers of Christ, we are not to question why. We are not to ask why did He handpick someone - a disciple and a trusted aide at that - who would later plant a yucky kiss on His cheek. But what a kiss it was! It dearly cost Him His life but endearingly salvaged ours. Why in heaven did He die for us?
