Speaking with Deep Sadness

Text: John 13: 21 -22

SPEAKING WITH DEEP SADNESS

Though Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him, He still felt deeply sad in His gentle heart.

“When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, One of you will betray Me.’  Then the disciples looked at one another, Perplexed about whom He spoke.”
