“And the Savior knew that, even though he gave himself up completely, He was not saving that Judas, whom he loves. And it was then he knew infinite suffering.”
When I was 12, my friend Henry died in a car accident. He should not have been there. He died a fool, and was surrounded by fools. He snuck out of the house and died in a car accident. He denied Christ beforehand.
But I must believe He is merciful, that He is loving, because that is what we have been told of Him.
Peter denied, and Jeannette claims she would not have. But Peter was saved.
Children bring such suffering. “What a pity, it was a life that had so well begun.” Mary wept and was so sorrowful she seemed to have aged a decade in three days. What is this suffering? Henry’s mom, too. She brought into the world something so brief, and it ended like this.
I hope that he will be loved like Peter.
