Distraction Leads to Denial

Jesus told Peter​, before the night was over he would deny Jesus, not once, but three times. People have questioned how Jesus ​knew Peter would deny Him​ three times. I believe ​the easy ​part was Jesus' predicting his dear friend ​would deny him. Peter had become distracted and Jesus knew his distraction​ would lead his​ dear friend to drift​. He also recognized that​ in that foggy state​ of mind, ​rather than of standing firm, Peter would deny ​the LORD. The​ fact Jesus knew he would do it three times ​before a rooster crow​ is something I chalk up to Jesus being God manifest in human flesh. Nevertheless, Peter was distracted, then drifted, before ​​ultimately denying the ​LORD three times in a matter of minutes. ​The blessing was the rooster! The rooster's crow broke Peter ​out of his stupor and brought ​repentance that led to being focused ​once again on following Jesus.
