What providential similarities are there between Jesus crucifixion and Peters arrest and imprisonment and what does that reveal about the churchs victories until the Lord returns?

Verse 24 could have been phrased in many different ways to say the same thing. Why was this particular wording chosen? How should this passage fuel the churchs desire and commitment to preach the Word and boldly live as citizens of Christ?
