John 12:5 (Judas)

“That perfume was worth a year’s wages. It should have been sold and the money given to the poor.” 

Matthew 26:31-35 (Peter)

“On the way, Jesus told them, “Tonight all of you will desert me. For the Scriptures say, ‘God will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

But after I have been raised from the dead, I will go ahead of you to Galilee and meet you there.”

Peter declared, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you.”

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter—this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny three times that you even know me.”

“No!” Peter insisted. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the other disciples vowed the same.” 

1 Samuel 16:7 (Jesus)

“Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The LORD doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

The Strange Reality: 

Transformation happens from the inside out.

If that’s true, it means:

  1. You are LOVED, whether you see yourself as a Judas or a Peter. 

  2. Express LOVE through EMPATHY
