I went into the study of this week's passage figuring the overarching theme would revolve around Jesus' betrayal.
The word 'betray' keeps popping up all over the sections that comprise vs.1-31 (see 10-11, 18-19). Jesus isn't actually betrayed at this point in the story, but the set up is described in bits and pieces.
And yet, the betrayal didn't become the overarching theme the more I studied. Jesus' courage and unyielding devotion to His mission was what really came through. Despite the frantic mix of antagonism, ignorance, and betrayal that is swirling around him, He stays focused on God's Will and preparing for what's ahead.
This can make a profound impact on us as disciples. Obviously it secures our salvation, but it also will affect how we interact with our Creator on a daily basis. Come Sunday to see how.
