Bitten by a Lamb

John 18

Peter was as close to Jesus as anybody. Reread verses 25 to 27. Jesus was not denied by an adversary or a stranger. He was denied by a friend. He wasn't bitten by a wolf. He was bitten by a lamb.

• How do you think Jesus felt when his friend denied knowing him?
• How do you feel when others hurt you?

Spend some time in prayer. Ask God for the power to be a faithful friend – in the good times and the tough times. Ask God for the ability to get over times when people have hurt you.
