Bible Reading: John 13:21-32
Today’s verses: John 13:26
Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give
this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece
of bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, son of Simon.
We've all experienced someone close
to us who hurts or disappoints us. We’ve also all been in that position where
we've caused injury or distrust. Human beings are not perfect and so we
constantly make mistakes or lose the trust of others.
When Judas betrayed Jesus, both of
them were aware of what was going on. The other disciples may have been
clueless, but both Christ and Judas knew what was happening. Jesus, however,
provided Judas with a way out by letting His disciple know that He was fully
aware of the betrayal. In other words, Christ still provided Judas a moment of
grace and truth which he could have received. Sadly, Judas defiantly chose to
betray Jesus.
How often do I
disappoint God and others? What can I do to remedy this?
Prayer: Lord Jesus, forgive us when we
disappoint You or betray another’s trust. Enable us to embrace Your grace and
heal any brokenness in others that we have caused. In Your Holy Name, we pray.
Amen.
