John 18:12-27
The narrative of Jesus’s trial is intertwined with Peter’s denial of Him. The faithfulness of Christ is contrasted to the faithlessness of Peter. Courage shines over cowardice. While Peter denies Christ three times, Jesus won’t deny His people the sacrifice He is about to make. Peter’s sin is therefore paid for on the cross. And so while his sin was great, the grace of God was greater still.
