Denied

In John 18:15-27, the disciple Peter denies Jesus, not once, but three times. This betrayal marks a pivotal moment in Jesus’ final days as even those closest to him begin to turn on him, and betray their master.
But Jesus knew this was coming — he even tells Peter this is going to happen in John 13. And unlike Judas, this isn’t the end of Peter’s story as a follower of Jesus. In the middle of one of the most painful and poignant parts of Jesus’ story, how can we avoid falling into the same pitfalls as Peter? And what can we learn about the power of redemption, and restoration?
