Matthew 26:14-27:10; John 21:4-9; John 21:15-17

Summary

Near the end of Jesus' time on earth, we see 2 disciples--Peter and Judas--experience major failure denying Jesus and betraying him. While their failure was similar, each responded differently. Judas responded with regret, leading to him trying to fix his mistake and ultimately the guilt leading him to suicide. Instead, Peter repented, agreeing that he was wrong, and looking to Jesus to restore him and strengthen him to live in victory. We should also be careful to respond to failure in repentance and allow God to restore us, rather than just feeling regret and defeat.
