Peter's denial didn't begin in the courtyard. It began when he trusted his instincts more than Jesus's words. This is the drift. We live in a culture that says, follow your heart. Jesus says, follow me. And when those two collide, one must surrender. If your instincts contradict Jesus, your instincts must yield, submit to Jesus. Following Jesus means surrendering your instincts, especially when they feel strong. When confidence, it shifts from Christ to to self, collapse is not far behind.
