John 18:12-27 | This Sunday that step takes us into the courtyard and house of the High Priest of the Hebrews. As Jesus is inside answering questions, we find Peter outside in the courtyard dodging questions. If you've been a Christian for any amount of time, you're probably familiar with this account of Peter in the courtyard. It resonates with us doesn't it? But what exactly is John hoping we take away from it? *hint: he's NOT trying to shame Peter or those who might find themselves denying Jesus!
