Love and Obedience, part 2
Betrayal.Have you ever felt betrayed by a friend? You know, somebody whom you thought loved you and cared about you, whom you thought was on your side… Maybe you’ve been a disloyal friend like that to somebody else?
There is a saying that goes like… “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.” But the fact of the matter is, it will only stab you in the back eventually, and you won’t even have seen it coming.
But for Jesus, He saw it coming, and in a sense, He didn’t get stabbed in the back like we often are. He is fully God, and yet He was fully human; He felt the pain of searing loss of a beloved brother who said he loved Him. I am not talking about Judas, but about Simon Peter. This famous story is as recorded in John 21:15-19.
