—John 16:25-33
by: Steven James.
Jesus was willing to accept his disciples as they were that last night with them. He affirmed them and encouraged them. But, he also acknowledged their failures and setbacks before they committed them. We can be like Peter and deny that we are vulnerable; or we can accept our Lord's words and perhaps avoid failure. It can be encouraging to know that Jesus loves us and wants to lead us, warts and all, into a more preferable future.
