1. God is glorified (31-33).

Jesus was aware of Judas' betrayal. But Jesus wasn't hurt. Instead, he saw the glorification of himself and of his Father in what was about to happen. In these two short verses, "glorify" or "glorified" is repeated 5 times. How can Judas' betrayal of Jesus mean the glorification of both the Father and the Son? Jesus' betrayal was God's plan for the salvation of the world. Jesus is the only way we can be saved. Truly this was the glorification of God!

2. A new command (34,35).

Jesus gave his disciples one last new command before he went out to be arrested. Love one another. This command was imperative. Jesus loves us. So we must love one another. That is the only way people will know we are his disciples.

3. Jesus prophesied Peter's denial (36-38).

Jesus was leaving them, and they could not follow. Peter wanted to follow and said he would lay down his life for Jesus. But Jesus knew Peter's heart. He would disown Jesus three times!
