What was your big “take-away” from this passage / message?
Why didn't Jesus make sure everyone knew Judas was the betrayer (John 13:28)?
Did Judas have a choice here, or was this predestined for him – and he had no choice? Defend your answer.
If Judas was never really on board with Jesus, why do you think he became a disciple in the first place? What does this say about why hypocrites stick around the church today?
