There is a missionary story the talks about how some missionaries went to a culture where Judas was seen as the hero of the Gospel story because that culture celebrated cunning. Being shocked at the applause that Judas got, the missionaries didn't know how to communicate the Gospel and had to rethink their approach.
That is until one day two sides of the tribe were fighting when all of a sudden a mother gave up her child to the other side. The fighting stopped instantly. Puzzled at the event, the missionaries came to the realization that there is one thing stronger than division, a parent's love. This is known as offering a "peace child." The missionaries then had their story to tell.
