John 18:17 “The servant girl at the door said to Peter, ‘You also are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?’ He said, ‘I am not.’ “ True friendship has its tests. One of those is how we act towards our “friends” when we’re around others who don’t like our friends. Our allegiances can be…

Wake-up call
John 18:1-2 “When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.
