John 13:1
John introduces the story of the Last Supper with these remarkable words: “He loved them unto the end.” Jesus knows exactly what lies ahead. He knows betrayal is coming. He knows suffering and the cross await Him.
Yet His love for His disciples does not waver.
In fact, the events of the evening will demonstrate the depth of that love. Jesus will wash the disciples’ feet. He will comfort them, teach them, and prepare them for the days ahead.
Even Judas, who will soon betray Him, sits at the table and receives bread from Jesus’ hand.
This kind of love is difficult to comprehend. Human love often depends on circumstances or behavior. But the love of Christ remains steadfast.
Lent draws our attention to this unwavering love. As we approach Good Friday, we see more clearly how far Jesus is willing to go for the sake of humanity. His love does not stop when things become difficult. It carries Him all the way to the cross.
Today, remember that Christ’s love for you is faithful and enduring. Nothing can separate you from the love revealed in Him.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for loving me with a faithful and enduring love. Help me reflect that same love toward others. Amen.
“Having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.”
