The Judas Within

Dave McHugh–Judas’ downfall began not with the kiss of betrayal in the garden — it didn't even begin when he went to the chief priests and set the wheels in motion — but long before, with duplicity in his heart. Betrayal is never the result of a single moment — it is the result of a heart that is duplicitous. Duplicity comes from a Latin word meaning "double" or "twofold". If we are being duplicitous, there are two ‘you's’: the one you're showing and the one you're hiding. When we engage in duplicity, we present a false front — we are pretending — it is deceitful, hypocritical and disguises one's true heart posture.
