In today's episode on the failures of Judas and Peter, the Smiths continue to unpackage the despair Judas was in which led him to take his life after selling out Christ for 30 pieces of silver. Sadly, this sentiment runs rampant across Indigenous North America, resulting in suicide rates many times that of national averages. We all are tempted to sin, and as LaDonna reminded us from Matthew's gospel, even Christ suffered great temptation, yet, was victorious over it through the same power available to us, the power of the indwelling, empowering Holy Spirit. The Smiths then turn our attention to the shameful disobedience of Peter, who denied Christ three times within a few short hours. There are so many lessons to learn from these two of Christ's closest followers, as the options become clear to us from the pages of God's Holy Word. Let's continue to have our guard up to stand against the wiles of the devil, and enable us to live God honoring Indigenous Faith!
