Judas Love

John 12:1-8
Jesus knew exactly who Judas was. He knew exactly what he would do, the role he would hold in His own perceived demise, and yet he loved him. Walked, talked, shared his secrets, time, and money with him. That is amazing love to me. To know someone's whole story, to see the not so happily ever after and still dote on them. Still allow them access to your most intimate circle of friends. What is even more amazing is that since Jesus said we would do even greater things than He has done (John 14:12-13), then how many people who cause strife in your own life should you be loving right now? Whew, talk about a hard act to follow!
A great resource to strengthen your love for family, friends and even enemies is Garry Chapman's The 5 Love Languages one of the most helpful reads I have ever undertaken. I hope this helps,
