Art not thou also one of his disciples?
—John 18:25
Without doubt Peter was a disciple, yet in the sifting of Satan, he acted as if he were not one. He denied his association with Christ. “Art not thou also one of His disciples? He denied it and said, I am not.” Proudly boasting that he was ready to go to prison or die for his Lord, he now disowns any allegiance to Him. Are you one of His disciples? If so, are you proud of the fact, or by lip and life are you denying the Master? Something about Peter indicated discipleship, for the world has a way of knowing if we have any association with Jesus.
