...of course among those who had their feet washed was Judas. That's the vulnerability of love, its openness to betrayal. But with that openness and danger goes something you don't get any other way. When Judas goes out into the dark, Jesus speaks of two things and two things only: glory and love. Now is the son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. A new commandment I give you, that you love one another as I have loved you...these two things, glory and love, are not two but one. Like heaven and earth, they are joined forever in the Servant, the son of man, the wounded, betrayed but victorious Jesus, completing the scriptures, alive with the vulnerable power of God, made known to us in the breaking of the bread.
