Judas: The Archetypal False Disciple | John 13:21–30
In this powerful passage, Jesus reveals the shocking truth: one of His own, Judas, will betray Him. But this is more than a story of personal treachery—it’s a window into the nature of evil, spiritual warfare, and God’s sovereign control.
Themes explored:
👉 The devastating intimacy of betrayal—Judas, an insider and close companion, turns against Jesus.
👉 The reality of Satan’s influence and spiritual warfare—reminding us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood (Eph. 6:12).
👉 God’s absolute sovereignty—even Judas’ betrayal serves Christ’s purpose and fulfills Scripture (Psalm 41:9, Acts 2:23).
👉 A sobering warning—proximity to Jesus without true faith leads to destruction (1 John 2:19).
👉 An encouraging hope—Christ remains in complete control, orchestrating redemption even through darkness and betrayal.
Application:
When betrayal, evil, or suffering strike close, will you trust the Master Weaver, who turns even the darkest threads into His perfect design?
