In this field note, Bethany explores the complex relationship between Jesus and Judas, as she invites you to wrestle with the thought of betrayal among fellow believers. Jesus welcomed Judas to the table despite his sin, and He does the same with us. The discussion will encourage you to reflect on your own life and the possibility of redemption, regardless of past mistakes. Takeaways Jesus still called Judas knowing he would eventually betray him. Betrayal can come from those closest to us.  Judas witnessed miracles yet chose betrayal. Jesus welcomed Judas to the table despite his sin. Christ's love is transformative AND redemptive. Our past does not disqualify us from redemption.
