Farewell Discourse: The Treachery of Judas (Randy)

Right after teaching us what it means to be clean through the foot washing, Jesus becomes terribly troubled because of the betrayal Judas is about to commit, and even more so because of the sin that inhibits all of humanity from having a life-giving relationship with him.  The wages of sin are death, but Jesus wants to offer us life.  By exposing the treachery of Judas in the way he did, we learn how we can have the life Jesus meant for us to have.
