Peter and the Rooster

The story of Peter's denial of Jesus is punctuated and illustrated by the crowing of the rooster. The metal rooster on the table set among rocks is harsh and rusty. It has seen its share of rainstorms and scorching sun. It speaks of sounding out the hours, regardless of the weather or the situation. Roosters are made to crow and strut, arrogant and dependable. To tell a rooster to be quiet would be as futile as....telling Peter he would betray Jesus.
