November #jammed: Gracious. Day 317: Thankful for the ability to ask. When Judas had eaten the bread, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus told him, “Hurry and do what you’re going to do.” John 13:27 How must Jesus have felt, even though He knew what Judas was about to do, when the time came for him to betray Him.
