When Jesus was arrested and taken to the High Priest's residence, Peter and John followed. The disciples were scared; they feared for their own lives; they felt helpless to intervene with authorities. It was here in the High Priest's courtyard on that cold spring night that Peter, fearing for his life, denied knowing the Lord. It is something he quickly regretted and agonized over. As we look closely at this moment in Peter's life, we will see promise and hope for all of us.
