Welcome to Day 2158 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Gospel of John – 26 – What is Your A.Q. – Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message – 07/31/2022 The Gospel of John – Part 4 Confirmation Of The Word – What Is Your A.Q. (Acceptance Quotient)   Today we continue our series, the Good News according to John the Apostle. Last week, we joined Jesus behind closed doors with His disciples and saw him take on the role of the lowest servant as He washed His disciple’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.   Today, we continue with Jesus behind closed doors with His disciples as they proceed with the Passover meal. Our scripture for today is John 13:18-30, starting on page 1674 in the pew Bible. Follow along as I read today’s passage. 18 “I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: ‘He who shared my bread has turned[a] against me.’[b] 19 “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am who I am. 20 Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.” 21 After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.” 22 His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. 23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. 24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.” 25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. 29 Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor. 30 As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.   For years, educational systems worldwide subjected students to tests to determine each individual’s I.Q., “Intelligence Quotient.” This quantified each person’s ability to remember facts, think imaginatively, logically organize information, and solve problems.
