… not Jesus, though. He accepts betrayal. Did you read that? He accepts betrayal. He knows what we’re capable of, realizes our deep dysfunction, knows what we did and how it broke part of the world, and yet…he still loves us. Oh, he’s going to call it out, but don’t doubt for one second that he is motivated by love and compassion, grace and truth, and a peculiar servanthood and Lordship. Betrayal? He expects no less from messed up humans who say one thing and do another, who lie to others, themselves, and God, who treat others like garbage and complain when they do it to us. We’re a mess. A beloved mess.
