So like Jesus loved everyone equally.

He loves unconditionally, right?

His sacrifice was both for the Judas and for you and for me and for everyone.

But Jesus also had different levels of trust.

So if you read the scriptures, he had the masses, then he had the 72, then he had the 12,

Then he had Peter, James, and John, which he would take up to mountains sometimes, just them three.

And then he had John, the one whom he loved.

And so there's levels of trust.

And that would be like, you know, if we become friends and then, you know, I slap you in the face, I'm like, oh, Sean, man, I'm so sorry.

You might be like, all right, that was a little random, but it's okay.

I forgive you.

But if I keep hitting you in the face over and over and over at some point, you're going to be like, all right, I'm going to plant my foot down and put some distance.

It's not that I don't love you, but the most loving thing I can not only do for you, but for my family and for myself is I need to create a level of trust here.

And so I think with people, it's okay to create different levels of trust.

You know, we have different seasons with people.

What do you mean create a level of trust with somebody that's hitting you in the face repeatedly?

You know, and that's like a metaphor, you know?

So like, let's use this as an example.

You know, you have a close friend, maybe even someone on the team that's so close and knows you so well, right?

And they know things about you that not the average bear knows, good and bad, things like that.
