Who Makes the Difference?


"Jesus said to [Peter], 'He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.' For He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, 'You are not all clean'" (John 13:10, 11).

Jesus says Peter is clean.
Jesus says Judas is not clean.

Peter made a lot of mistakes.
Judas made a lot of mistakes.

In a few minutes, Peter will deny Jesus.
In a few minutes, Judas will betray Jesus.

What makes the difference?

Peter kept returning to Jesus when he messed up.
Judas did not keep returning to Jesus when he messed up.

I guess a better question is, Who makes the difference?

    Thank you for this encouragement and helping us to see that we must keep turning back to Jesus. Oh if I would only stay at his side and NEVER walk away.

    You're very welcome! I am praying that you will stay at His side. Please pray that I will, as well. He's what it's all about.
