As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night. (John 13:30)
Judas has just been fed by the Lord of the Universe, yet he goes out. He leaves the light of the Divine Presence. And it is night--darkness all around.
Sin crouches at the door. Temptation issues its siren call. A chill replaces the warmth of fellowship. Pride swells in the heart. A dull ache in the gut persists--betrayal.
And it was night.
