John 18
Verse 15-16: Peter denied Jesus three times. I have nothing to add as this is just too relevant and identifiable to modern lukewarmness. Let that sink in...
Verse 28-37: Pilate spoke to Jesus face to face and he still rejected Him. I wonder what was going through his head when he finally faced judgement. All the missed opportunities to turn back on his earthly security. It is a tragedy when people fail to acknowledge truth (in this case that Jesus was innocent of any crime), but how much more severe the tragedy when Pilate acknowledged Jesus innocence and still threw Him to his death.
