The lesson

 For Spy Wednesday is don't be Judas.  

When it was evening,

he reclined at table with the Twelve.

And while they were eating, he said,

“Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.”

Deeply distressed at this,

they began to say to him one after another,

“Surely it is not I, Lord?”

He said in reply,

“He who has dipped his hand into the dish with me

is the one who will betray me.

The Son of Man indeed goes, as it is written of him,

but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed.

It would be better for that man if he had never been born.”

Then Judas, his betrayer, said in reply,

“Surely it is not I, Rabbi?”

He answered, “You have said so.”

                                        Matthew 26.20-25

There are many ways to turn Jesus over to the crowds.  The most obvious being turning Jesus over to the crowds.  Let's not do that.  No matter how loud the crowds scream.  Don't betray Jesus to the crowds, even if we think that kiss we give on Sundays will make it all better.
