Embracing Christ’s Grace - john 21
Bootcamp messup!
Our weakness/failure causes us to experience...
Sin struggle
Divorce
Bankruptcy
Failure
They make us feel like damaged goods.
We slide out under the door and think it just may be easier to stay away.
Inverted Kingdom
Death brings life
Humility brings exaltation
Weakness brings strength
We’ll see two acts of betrayal that end in very different ways.
Your weakness may not be a betrayal so I want to focus on the response to the weakness or failure.

Correct the scene
In an incredible display of humility and purposefulness, Jesus washes the disciples’ feet.
Jesus’ ministry is coming to it’s climax.
Reclining at this table we witness two kingdoms in conflict here: the kingdom driven by power as seen in Satan/Judas and the inverted Kingdom as seen Jesus/Peter.
The Devil really is in the details.
In John’s account of the Gospel, there are no exorcisms or demons.
Satan/Devil only mentioned four times.
It’s a very big deal!
Satan has thrust this idea into Judas’ heart.
The heart that desires what Satan’s desires, wills what Satan’s wills.
Judas will betray Jesus but we will see two betrayals that have very different endings.
It’s not so much about the betrayal, it’s what happens in response.
We all mess up, what do we do in response?
Betrayal # One
The
John 13:21
Jesus was troubled - ταρασσω.
This is a mixture of horror, shock, and indignation.
Herod was troubled (ταρασσω)when he heard the new King had been born.
The disciples were terrified (ταρασσω) when Jesus came walking across the water.
When Zechariah saw the angel in the Temple, he was terrified (ταρασσω).
Jesus is feeling this incredible storm of emotions.
One of his disciples is going to betray him.
baseball signal
Peter wants to know though.
So he gets John’s attention.
Maybe he uses baseball signals.
Jesus seems to have leaned over to John and quietly said, “Watch this”
Notice the seating arrangement; John and Judas are in the places of honor.
Jesus had just washed his feet and now he seems to offer one last opportunity.
The final act of love becomes the decisive moment of judgment.
Satan has sifted Judas and now he is separated out.
Judgment has been a main theme of John. .
Judas no longer believes.
So the last gesture of affection brings Judas to the point of surrender of to the darkness.
Remember John said; the light shines in the darkness
And that final act of love becomes, with a terrible immediacy, the decisive movement of judgment.
At this moment we are witnessing the climax of that action of sifting, of separation, of judgment which has been the central theme in John’s account of the public ministry of Jesus … (3:16–19).
So the p 475 final gesture of affection precipitates the final surrender of Judas to the power of darkness.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has neither understood it nor mastered it.
(Newbigin, p. 173)
Judas received the sop but not the love.
Instead of breaking him and urging him to contrition, it hardened his resolve.
At that point Satan (only here mentioned by name; cf.
v. 2) entered into him: the expression probably signifies thorough possession.
And that final act of love becomes, with a terible immediacy, the decisive movement of judgment.
At this moment we are witnessing the climax of that action of sifting, of separation, of judgment which has been the central theme in John’s account of the public ministry of Jesus … (3:16–19).
So the final gesture of affection precipitates the final surrender of Judas to the power of darkness.

D. A. Carson, The Gospel according to John (The Pillar New Testament Commentary; Leicester, England; Grand Rapids, MI: Inter-Varsity Press; W.B. Eerdmans, 1991), 474–475.
Judas took the bread but not the love.
At that moment he becomes possessed by Satan himself.
Make no mistake, Jesus is still in control of the scenario.
He says, “what you are about to do, do it quickly.”
It’s one of the saddest verses in Scripture.
Judas steps out into the darkness.
Judas will only be mentioned in infamy from this point forward.
In just a few weeks Peter will remind everyone about how David prophesied about Judas’s betray.
Listen to how he ends the speech.
Incredibly sad.
Judas, chosen to follow the Lord, is gone.
Betrayal # Two
John 13:1
It was bad enough that Judas betrayed Jesus!
Now Peter?
Luke lets us in on a bit of the dinner that John doesn’t record.
Jesus says to Peter:
