“And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple.
Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in.”
John 18:15-16 NKJV
I made some remarks while preaching recently at the ministry wherein was privileged to- “There is someone who knows someone that you don’t know.
There is someone who knows something that you don’t know.
There is someone who has been to some place that you haven’t been to.” Simon Peter would readily agree with these statements.
To begin with, he cut across as a bold, daring, can-do-it personality – traits that most successful leaders exhibit.
Few examples will remind us of how fantastic this man was.
He was the one that got it right when Christ asked His disciples about His true identity.
He was the one that wanted to follow in the trail of the Master when he asked to be invited to walk on water.
He was the one that cut off someone’s ear when Jesus was arrested. Maybe that was his way of demonstrating his earlier promise to Jesus, that if all the world forsook Him, his own case would be an exception.
That was the man Peter.
One would think such individual would easily bamboozle his way to anyone and any place without let.
Not so in the palace of the High Priest. When Jesus was being tried, John made it in to the court room because he was personally acquainted with the occupant of the palace. Peter was barred from entering.
It took the intervention of John to have him brought in.
The point we are making today is this: there are places you may never get to in life except through someone who knows you and knows the place you desire to reach. Human beings are divine linkages.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, connect me supernaturally to those who will help me fulfill my destiny.
