“‘But there are some of you who do not believe.’ For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.” (John 6:64)

I believe that Judas had all but given up on Jesus as the Messiah. His deal to hand Jesus over was, in his mind, the last-ditch effort to get Jesus to step up to the plate and hit a home run. Well, Jesus did, but not in the way anyone was expecting. It is the same today. We all, until converted, expect Him to look and do differently. If He were really God, He’d…the list is endless. At least those who trust Him would look really different. We all, like Judas, deny Christ until our hearts are born of the Spirit.

In Christ, we are totally different expressions of God’s Son and totally human.

My desire, Lord, is simple. Let me rest in being what You are doing in and through me: flat tires and all.
