How do you respond to the gut punch of despair? You do 1 of 3 things: condemn it away, prop yourself up above it, or put your head in the sand to forget about it. As campus minister Robert Knuth shows us in Mark 14:66-72, Peter's denial of the events that just took place as Jesus was arrested and lead away by the Jewish leaders highlights something about our humanity. And it's Jesus' response to Peter's denial that ultimately has the power to pierce our souls and embrace redemptive reality.
