LET’S JUST KISS AND SAY GOODBYE
–T.D. JAKES
There used to be a group called the
Manhattans. An early 70's group. This
group had one of the smoothest tenor lead
singer of all time. His name was Gerald
Austin. The groups hit song was entitled
"Let's Just Kiss and Say Good-bye." It was a
song about a break up between a couple
that had been together for a long time.
Many of you old-heads may say, "What do
you know about that song boy." Well mom
and dad used to play it a lot on the record
player, we had it on 45!! Some of y'all know
what I'm talking about.

When I thought of the lyrics of the song it
made me wonder about a kiss.
"I had to meet you here today. There's just
so many things to say. Please don't stop
me till I'm through, this is something I hate
to do. We've been meeting here so
long.....etc....Please darling don't you
cry, Let's just kiss and say good-bye!
Powerful lyrics.
But why a kiss?
LET’S JUST KISS AND SAY GOODBYE

A kiss is a term of endearment. A
kiss is something that is the seal of
approval. Us guys always felt
that getting the first kiss from a
young lady was the start of
something. A kiss is usually how
you greet your wife.
A kiss is how you say good night to
your children. A kiss is what you
share when you want to let a person
know that you love them!
LET’S JUST KISS AND SAY GOODBYE
So why in Luke 22:47 did Judas betray
Jesus with a kiss? This gives a whole new
meaning for a kiss! Jesus had 12 friends
that we know as disciples. He chose his
disciples Himself. The bible says that he
knew one of them was the devil. So for 3
years of Jesus' life he walked, talked, and
had breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a
man that he knew would betray Him.
Some may wonder, why didn't Jesus
expose Judas for what he was? Why did
Jesus allow Judas to continue on with
Him. The answer is simple. Jesus knew
that prophecy had to be fulfilled. He knew
he had an ultimate purpose in life. So in
order to fulfill the promise, Jesus had to
let someone he didn't necessarily care for
as a person tag along to keep Himself
focused on the purpose.

There are people in Your life that are
there only to bother you. These
people are in your life to keep you
on your knees. These people are in
your life because they are a part of the
problem and the solution. These same
people will help catapult you to your
destiny! When Judas betrayed Jesus
with a kiss, he opened our eyes to
the fact that a kiss is not always what
we intend it to be. Be careful who
you let put their lips on you. When I
say lips it's not always in the
kissing form. Be careful of who speaks
well of you. Be careful of who always
has an answer.
LET’S JUST KISS AND SAY GOODBYE
Be careful of the ones that seem to
like you but it's just something about
them that you just can't put your
finger on. Everyone in your life is not
meant to stay in your life. Let's just
kiss and say good bye. You can't
carry everyone with you. There are
some places that God wants you to
go that only you can go.
Learn to love, leave, and live your life as God
intended! Next time you're betrayed by someone
you THOUGHT was a friend, just remember
"Let's Just Kiss and Say Good Bye! Jesus
already knew the betrayal was on the way. So
get over it, step on it, but don't live your life
