We expect pain from those who are against us. That may not lessen the pain, but at least it is more understandable. That's what we expect from enemies. We don’t expect pain from our friends. Today Dr. John speaks of betrayal – the deep wound which is inflicted by those close to us. There is nothing more confounding than being betrayed. Jesus understands.

The Death and Resurrection of Jesus: In this series of messages, Dr. John points us to the Gospel of Matthew for the account of Jesus' final days. We hear from an eyewitness, a martyr of Jesus. Matthew bears witness to the words, actions and significance of Jesus' death and resurrection. Listen afresh to a story you already know – then we too are to bear witness. We are to be living martyrs, daily witnesses of the good news of Jesus Christ.
