Luke 22:1-6

brings us to Judas.

I can't help but reflect on Lory's post from the 3rd.

Snake oil.

Herod was dishing it out, 

but the wise men weren't having any.

Judas on the other hand, 

drank it up. 

But Judas was getting it from the snake himself, 

satan.

Thank you, God
for the Christmas story.
Thank you,
that when this world seems to be
drowning in snake oil,
you give us the light of
The Christ Child
to cling to.
