Jesus gives a peace that is unlike what the world can give us. The world tries to offer peace through temporary things that can’t truly satisfy, like drugs, alcohol, sex, and financial stability. But none of those can truly satisfy us long term, the way Jesus can. And in today’s Bible study, we’re looking at John 14 to see Jesus’ words of comfort to His troubled disciples.

In today’s Bible study, we’re looking at Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Jesus. Even though none of the other disciples suspected Judas of being a fraud, Jesus knew it the entire time. And unfortunately, Judas represents a lot of supposed Christians. So in this episode, we’ll see Jesus call out this deceiver, His command to the disciples to love like He does, and how every disciple vowed not to forsake Jesus, even though they all did.
