Mat 26:75 | MHM | STEP | v. 75 : Right after Peter’s third denial, a rooster crowed just as Jesus had said it would happen (Matthew 26:74 ). This simple event reminded Peter of Jesus’ warning, and his conscience was awakened. He remembered Jesus’ words and realized how wrong he had been. This made him very sad, and he went outside and wept bitterly. Peter’s sorrow was real and deep. He left the courtyard to be alone and cried over what he had done. True repentance means feeling sorry for our sins and wanting to change. After this, Peter never denied Jesus again, but instead, he became a bold witness for him (Acts 2:36 ). When we truly repent, we show it by living differently and standing up for Jesus, even when it is difficult.
