Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

Before the Passover celebration, Jesus knew
that his hour had come to leave this world and
return to his Father. He had loved his disciples
during his ministry on earth, and now he loved
them to the very end.
John 13:1, NLT

Reflection:

Jesus knew he would be betrayed by one of his
disciples, disowned by another, and deserted
by all of them for a time. Still he "loved them to
the very end." God knows us completely, as
Jesus knew his disciples.
He knows the sins we have committed and the
ones we will yet commit. Still, he loves us. How
do you respond to that kind of love?
