Betrayal is bitter. It could be a sibling, a spouse, or a friend. It could be a coworker or boss. It could be our child. It could be ourselves.

Betrayal comes in many shapes. And the sting is deep when it happens to us.

I don’t usually reach down to wash their feet while I’m in the midst of being betrayed, do you?

If I can see it coming, I try to protect myself. Who wouldn’t?

Not Jesus. He knew who would betray Him BEFORE and He washed his feet ANYWAY.

This is the love of our Savior.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
