All the disciples scattered when Jesus was arrested, but Peter returned. While Jesus faced an unjust trial before the council, Peter faced his own test just outside, confronted by a servant of the high priest and other bystanders. Maybe Peter still believes: “Even though they all fall away, I will not.” Yet, as we know, Peter failed these tests and denied Christ three times. Although we see Peter’s failure, we also learn from his experience how to respond to our own failures and find encouragement in the midst of them.
