John 13:18-38

During the Last Supper, Jesus identified Judas as the one who would betray Him. After that, He restated that His disciples could not go with Him. Peter said he wanted to go with Him and would even die for Him, but Jesus told him that before the night was over, he would deny Him three times.

Jesus knows our innermost thoughts. There is no point trying to con Him or convince Him that you are something you are not. Even when we come to Him with the best of intentions, we cannot measure up to the standard of perfection that He has set. Only by allowing Him into our lives and focusing on Him can we be made holy and pleasing in God's sight.
