Jesus knew that one of His closest followers would betray Him, and it troubled His spirit. This moment highlights a sobering truth—we are all capable of abandoning Jesus in some way, whether through betrayal, denial, or fear. Jesus offering Judas the bread was an act of deep significance, recalling Old Testament themes of friendship and trust, yet Judas had already let his heart turn away. His love of money and personal ambition made small compromises grow into ultimate betrayal. Still, Jesus did not react with anger but allowed Judas to make his choice. This passage challenges us to examine our own hearts: Are we making small compromises that lead us away from Christ? Are we extending mercy to those who have wronged us, as Jesus did? True faithfulness requires guarding our hearts against sin, while true love calls us to show grace even in the face of betrayal.
