Remember: if you click Ignore, he’ll hunt you down, lock you in the torture chamber he built, and burn you for eternity for hurting his feelings. Because he loves you.

You worship a god who thinks the single worst crime you can commit is to not be his friend.

John 13:20 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me." Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

It's possible to read this verse and find it out of place. Seen from the right perspective however, it's a bridge between two sections of this passage. After speaking of His example of humble servanthood (John 13:12–16), Jesus has hinted that someone in His inner circle will betray Him (John 13:17–19).

This statement reiterates the idea that the gospel is God's message, carried by people. It's entirely true that we can put unnecessary barriers in other peoples' spiritual path (2 Corinthians 6:3). Such things aside, those who reject the gospel itself are rejecting God, and those who accept it are accepting Him (John 17:8). When someone hears the gospel, their response to it is not—primarily—a response to the person from whom they hear it. It's the hearer either embracing or ignoring the voice of the Holy Spirit (Acts 7:51; Matthew 10:14).

In the same sense, those who listen to the gospel preaching of a true believer are listening to Christ; to listen to Christ is to listen to God. That message is true, even though there are those who falsely claim the name of Christ, or who reject His truth in favor of their own desires.

That establishes the connection between this statement, the prior verses, and the passage which follows. Judas is not a true follower of Christ. And yet, he was chosen for his role by Jesus. That does not change the fact that Jesus chose, sent, and empowered the other disciples. Judas' betrayal does not make the witness of Peter, or Andrew, or Thomas invalid. The sin of some scandalized believer does not undo the truth proclaimed by millions of others.

This does, however, make Judas' rejection of Christ that much more tragic. Despite all the miracles and sermons he witnessed, Judas has already chosen damnation (Mark 14:18–21). In the following passage, Jesus begins to express the powerful human emotions that come with being betrayed. Among those, probably, is sorrow at knowing how painful this news will be to the rest of the inner circle.

Aceite a Jesus (Portugês)

Jesus cuida de mim com tanto amor, que eu não quero ser a única a sentir o seu amor o seu cuidado e a sua infinita misericórdia. Se você não conhece Jesus o filho de Deus, que morreu na cruz pra nos salvar, ou se você está afastado, aceite Jesus em seu coração e aonde você estiver repita em uma oração (pode ser em mente também, caso não possa falar no momento) diga com amor e Jesus te ouvirá. "Jesus, eu te aceito como meu único Senhor e salvador. Escreve meu nome no livro da vida. Me perdoe a apague todos os meus pecados."

Jesus tem o melhor pra você.

Accept Jesus (English)

Jesus cares for me with so much love that I do not want to be the only one to feel his love, his care and his infinite mercy. If you do not know Jesus the son of God, who died on the cross to save us, or if you are far away, accept Jesus in your heart and wherever you are in prayer (may be in mind too if you can not speak at the moment ) Say with love and Jesus will hear you. "Jesus, I accept you as my only Lord and Savior, write my name in the book of life, and forgive all my sins."

Jesus has the best for you.

Unless the victim is an atheist or from another religion, in which case they burn in hell for eternity.

Your god is immoral. You worship an immoral god.

Spend eternity with the priest who molested you. Or eternity in hell if you turned out to be one of them heathens.
