The events leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ were a life changer for Peter. He was over confident and a bit cocky, full of himself, talked too much, and listened too little. He even fell asleep when he should have been praying. There’s no denying it - sometimes we’re a lot like Peter.

Night after night, the prayers flowed as freely as the tears for their sweet little girl. Her soft, tender cheek hiding the illness that rages inside. How could this be? One word from the Healer and she would be fine. Why doesn't He answer?

How do you react when it becomes clear to you that you are the most powerful person in the room? I am prone to leverage it for my benefit. I may start to bark orders, such as… "Take out the trash!" "We will be spending the weekend doing this." "That person needs to be replaced."

Who is this Jesus? That is the question of the ages. Tim marvelously revealed the answer yesterday by examining the events that began the last week of His earthly life.
