It's not a lot of people that are going to stand with you when the going gets tough in life. Even some of Jesus's disciples turned against Jesus, when Jesus knew that the end was near for him on Earth. Jesus knew that some of his disciples were gone turn against him as we see in the John 13 verses 36-38 when Jesus predicts Peter's denial, verse 36: "Where are you going, Lord?" Simon Peter asked him. "You cannot follow me where I am going," answered Jesus; "but later you will follow me." 37: "Lord, why can't I follow you now?" asked Peter. "I am ready to die for you!" 38: Jesus answered, "Are really ready to die for me? I am telling you the truth: before the rooster crows you will have say three times that you don't know me." This is what happens in life people will say that they will be there for you even when you are struggling in life. Until that time comes for them to reveal their true colours to you. Just like when the time came for Jesus to die for us, before this happened we got to see the true colours of Simon Peter in John 18 in three different verses the first on verse 17:The girl at the gate said to Peter, "Aren't you also one of the disciples of that man?" Peter answered, "No I am not." the second verse 25:Peter was still standing there keeping himself warm. So the others said to him, "Aren't you also one of the disciples of that man?" But Peter denied it again. "No, I am not," he said. The third verse 27: Again Peter said "No" - and at once a rooster crowed. So don't be surprised in your life when someone who you thought you would trust in life turns his back on you and let's you fall.
