Why does Judas betray Jesus? Was it just greed, or did he think Jesus would escape again like always? Why does Jesus commend the woman pouring expensive perfume omn him while the disciples call it waste? What makes Peter so confident he'll never deny Christ, only to fail hours later? How do the words "for you" at the Last Supper change everything about Christ's suffering? Watch the full video on YouTube to discover why Jesus leaned into the cross when everyone else leaned away. #higherthings #lcms #lutheran #lent If you have questions or topics that you'd like discussed on Higher Things, email them to content@higherthings.org Subscribe to our channel to get notifications when we go live: http://youtube.com/@HTgospel4all To support the work of Higher Things®, visit https://higherthings.org/morehi/giving/ For more information about Higher Things, go to http://higherthings.org ------ Join the conversation on Social Media: http://facebook.com/higherthings http://instagram.com/higherthings https://www.tiktok.com/@higherthings
