“Woe to That Man…”

 (ID: 2906)

The Lord Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him, yet He treated His betrayer as a friend. In the Last Supper scene, we see the mysterious harmony between God’s sovereignty and human volition as they work together to fulfill a predetermined purpose. Alistair Begg teaches us that we do not need to fully understand how these two truths can coexist. We simply can rest in the fact that God is always just and good.

17wAnd when it was evening, he came with the twelve. 18And as they were reclining at table and eating, xJesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, yone who is eating with me.” 19They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20He said to them, “It is zone of the twelve, yone who is dipping bread into the dish with me. 21For the Son of Man goes aas it is written of him, but bwoe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! cIt would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”
