Knowing this, it makes the idea of betraying someone with a kiss all the more despicable, and it is woefully despicable that the Savior of the World was betrayed with a kiss.

When we, as Christians, are faced with such incredible difficulty and pain, there is always the temptation to despair, to depend upon ourselves, or to turn to other worldly avenues to cope. But the reality is that there is only one true and lasting comfort – the comfort of Christ in prayer.

This is the day before His murder, and everything necessary for His betrayal and arrest had already been set in motion.
