Day 12: With Jesus as Peter Denies Him
Peter, one of Jesus' closest friends, denies knowing him three times, just as Jesus predicted. As the rooster crows, Jesus turns and looks at Peter. Today's step invited us to stay with Jesus in this moment and to connect it with times we've felt let down by those closest to us.
Community discussion question:
Have you experienced the distancing or even denial of those closest to you, or difficulty piled on difficulty in a lonely season? How might your experiences help you better understand Jesus' suffering?

Sometimes people take you for granted and when you need help, the silence is resounding and in these moments of my own garden of Gethsemane moments I call out to Jesus louder than ever 💛
