The Difference Between Peter & Judas
The difference between Peter and Judas is that Peter, even when he denies Christ, is still trying to say close, whereas Judas runs off on his own.
Be like Peter.

The Next Time You Are Treated Unfairly
Jesus was not given a fair trial:
55 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 56 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree.
57 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: 58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build another, not made with hands.’” 59 Yet even then their testimony did not agree.Mark 14:55-59
The next time someone treats you unfairly, remember: they did the same to Jesus.

Mark's Self-Portrait?
Many scholars think that Mark wrote himself into his Gospel in this one strange verse:
A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52 he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
Mark 14:51
Who knows? We know that John Mark was from Jerusalem (cf. Acts 12:12), and would have been a young man at the time of the Crucifixion.

Judas
I find Judas fascinating.
- Jesus kept Judas in his inner circle, even though he knew he would betray him. Why?
- Judas had been with Jesus for years, and then he deliberately chose to betray him. Why? (He clearly immediately regrets it.)
