Verses 21-23 … Jesus Christ; Christ’s Ministry; His Denial by Peter, Betrayal, & Suffering

(John 12:4-6)

Jesus informed His disciples while they were at the table that the one who was at the table with Him would betray Him. The betrayer was Judas Iscariot, who served as the treasurer for the group.

Jesus chose Judas, knowing that Judas would betray Him. Judas is an example of what sin can do to anyone whether saved or unsaved.

Have you ever noticed that when you are betrayed it is often someone closest to you?

(John 13)

A dispute rose among Jesus’ disciples concerning who would be the greatest. Jesus told His disciples that this type of action – thinking should not be among them.

As Christians/Saints of God/Believers we must resist the attitude and temptation of striving for greatness: but strive to be servants.
