Betrayers

 I read in Psalm 55:

12-14 This isn’t the neighborhood bully

    mocking me—I could take that.

This isn’t a foreign devil spitting

    invective—I could tune that out.

It’s you! We grew up together!

    You! My best friend!

Those long hours of leisure as we walked

    arm in arm, God a third party to our conversation.

15 Haul my betrayers off alive to hell — let them

    experience the horror, let them

    feel every desolate detail of a damned life.

David curses his betrayers, perhaps, one in particular: his former best friend who betrayed him. In Mark 14, the disciples were asking who was going to betray Jesus:

20 “It is one of the Twelve,” he replied, “one who dips bread into the bowl with me. 21 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

In contrast, Jesus said in the cross, Luke 23:24:

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

The Word of God seems to say certain things in one place and opposite things in another. In the cross, Jesus asked the Father to forgive his enemies, and Jesus said that it would be better that Judas hadn't been born implying a great condemnation to him.

The Bible has a principle that the more revelation one receives from the Lord, the more it will be required from him. So, a betrayer received very much, but he didn't correspond to what he was given.
