Faithfulness and betrayal

John 13:21-33,36-38 


Everything in the Old Testament is revealed in Jesus.  Jesus is the picture of the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament.  In the book of Isaiah, the Messiah is a servant so pleasing to the Father that He himself is Israel.  His words are like sharp swords, and God alone is his strength.  The Messiah is a faithful, obedient Servant.

In the Gospel, Jesus prophesied who will betray him.  But he will be glorified by the Father.  Those who are not like the Messiah are traitors; they betray the Master.  In the case of Peter, those who are opposite the Messiah live in fear.  they are not free.

The marks of the Messiah become our own marks as well.  We are formed by God even before we were born.  We are given gifts so we can change the world.  And our courage is the Lord; He alone is our strength.
