So, after receiving the morsel of
bread, he immediately went out. And it
was dark. John 13:30
How many of you know someone that has so much potential and
refuses to live the good life that God has for them? Each of us knows someone who has allowed
alcohol, drugs, and other deadly vices destroy careers, marriages, families,
and fortunes. How many parents grieve
over a child that could have been a great Christian working to improve society
but falls victim to the sins of society?
How many neglect the opportunity to serve the Lord? Do we consider how
much we grieve the Father when we do not live according to His plan thereby not
living to our potential?
Journey back to the night of Jesus’ betrayal. What was the greatest night in the history of
the world when the disciples were
gathered together with God turned into a restless night of confusion,
separation, denial, guilt, jealousy, murmuring, and rejection. An intimate relationship with Jesus and with
each other becomes a night of revelation about the hearts of the Twelve where
unfilled areas of the heart were exploited by sin, especially Judas. Jesus loved Judas knowing his future
betrayal. Jesus knows and loves us
in-spite-of our actions.
