Jesus still called Judas to be one of his disciples even though he always knew the betrayer's heart (John 6:64). If I knew someone was going to turn against me, I certainly would not expose myself to him. But Jesus was willing to go through all manner of betrayal, torture and death, that I might be his child.
He knew that each one of us would fail him, yet he still choose us. He offers us forgiveness though we have even denied his Lordship by choosing our own way above his (1 John 1:9).
He offers us amazing grace, mercy and love.
