UNLIKE US - JESUS KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT US AND LOVES US STILL.
JESUS LOVED HIS OWN.
JESUS LOVES THE OUTSIDER.
I want to ask why is Jesus saying, “One of you will betray me”?
He is saying to Judas, “I see you.
I see you.”
When he says, “One of you will betray me,” it’s a way of saying to Judas, “I see you.” There’s a warning here because he says, “One of you will betray me, and if you follow through and do what you’re thinking about doing, it would be better if you hadn’t been born.”
So he is warning him.
On the other hand, he is not unmasking him.
He doesn’t say, “There’s the scum.
Traitor.
Liar.
It’s Judas.”
He lets him know.
He warns him, but at the same time, he doesn’t humiliate him.
He doesn’t expose him.
He doesn’t trample on him.
Don Carson says, “This is Jesus’ final act of courtesy and love toward Judas.”
Here’s why.
Why is he doing it this way?
He wants Judas to repent.
He doesn’t want to shatter him; he wants to melt him.
He doesn’t want to condemn him; he wants to convict him.If he hadn’t said, “I see you,” there’d be no chance for repentance.
If he had actually trampled on him, there would have been no chance for repentance either.
Jesus wants to melt him.
He doesn’t want to shatter him.
What I want you to behold in Jesus Christ right now is the perfect gentleness of Jesus, the most amazing meshing of justice and sensitivity.
If you really love somebody, you do warn him.
You say, “I see you, and what you’re about to do is going to be terrible.”
If you don’t do that, you don’t love them.
On the other hand, you don’t trash them.
You don’t smash them.
You don’t ruin them.
In Jesus Christ we have this mixture of meekness and majesty, of grace and justice.
He is not halfway between grace and justice.
LIKE HIM - WE MUST LOVE THOSE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE FAMILY OF FAITH.
UNLIKE US - JESUS HAD FOREKNOWLEDGE THAT EVERYTHING WOULD WORK OUT FOR GOOD.
LIKE HIM - WE MUST HAVE FAITH GOD IS WORKING EVERYTHING OUT FOR GOOD.
UNLIKE US - JESUS COMPLETED THE WORK OF SALVATION THROUGH PRAYER.
BY HIS PRAYING FOR US OUR SALVATION WILL ONE DAY BE COMPLETE.
IN 2,000 YEARS NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
JUDAS STILL FINDS HIS WAY INTO ALL SEGMENTS OF CHURCH LIFE.
EVERY CHURCH THIS DAY, INCLUDING THIS ONE, HAS THERE JUDAS’.
HE/SHE IS AS UNKNOWN AS JUDAS WAS IN HIS DAY AND YET JESUS ONCE AGAIN HAS ALLOWED YOU TO HEAR OF HIS GREAT LOVE FOR YOU.
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH IT THIS DAY?
DEAR STRUGGLING CHRISTIAN
CHRIST IS WORKING IN YOU.
CHRIST IS PRAYING FOR YOU.
CHRIST IS KEEPING YOU.
