FIELD NOTES vol. 3 - Jesus & Judas: What does the betrayal matter?

When Jesus called Judas as a disciple, he knew this was going to be the road …And He was willing to let him sit at the table anyway. In this field note, Bethany explores the complex relationship between Jesus and Judas, as she invites you to wrestle with the thought of betrayal among fellow believers. Jesus welcomed Judas to the table despite his sin, and He does the same with us. The discussion will encourage you to reflect on your own life and the possibility of redemption, regardless of past mistakes.

Takeaways

• Jesus still called Judas knowing he would eventually betray him.
• Betrayal can come from those closest to us. 
• Judas witnessed miracles yet chose betrayal.
• Jesus welcomed Judas to the table despite his sin.
• Christ's love is transformative AND redemptive. Our past does not disqualify us from redemption.
