In this chapter we see the extreme issues of life: the utter depravity of man, the weakness of the flesh and the marvelous love of God. Judas betrays Jesus (the depravity of man), Peter denies Him (the weakness of the flesh) and our Savior reveals God's love for us in expressing His desire for intimate fellowship (the Passover supper)with those who have embraced him in faith. His readiness to forgive, restore and encourage those who through sin have denied Him underscores that love of God for man and gives us a glimpse of the heart and character of God. How comforting it is to know that boundless love, that forgiveness, that good will toward man as seen here in God's dear Son. It is difficult or rather impossible to fully comprehend the depth, the height, the breadth of that love. We can only "see through a glass darkly" and find comfort, peace and joy in what is here and throughout God's Word revealed about that love.
