Obviously, betraying a friend does not make one great. If you have ever been betrayed by a friend, then you know some of the pain that Jesus felt. When I was in college I had a friend who wanted to share an apartment with me. We had lots of similar interests and he was planning on entering a career in ministry, so I agreed to his request. Two months later, with bounced checks in my hand, a search that had found hidden phone bills, and an empty bank account, I was a victim of betrayal.

Betrayal can be as simple as making a negative comment about someone or as great as cheating on our spouse or selling secret information from the company we work for.

Being a truly great person involves honoring one another and honoring God.
