The three troubling predictions include the DEFECTION of Judas, the DEPARTURE of Jesus and the DENIAL of Peter. All of these were possible because Jesus knows what is in the heart of every human being. He fully knew that Judas was going to betray Him. Ephesians 1:4-5 reveals that God knew and planned for every believer before the world ever existed. He loved us and proved that love in giving His life for us on Calvary's Cross. Christ shared how we are to love one another, just as He has loved us, even when we were unloving (Romans 5:8, 10).
