Chosen and Rejected

John 13:18-20   
18 “I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’ 19 Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He. 20 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

Jesus spoke to those He chose out of the world, the ones He called out, so they could also see the one who was not called and how He knew the betrayal to come. But the ones called receive Him truly, even through them and us as we tell the good news of reconciliation with a holy God in Him.  So we believe, and so we bear witness to all that some may receive Him through us.
