Peter had proudly declared that he would never deny the Lord.
The Lord told him he would deny Him three times before the cock crowed.

We can be so certain in the flesh, but when the time comes, the flesh fails.

It is only in the Lord that we can be faithful unto Him.

Peter denied Him three times.
Denied “with an oath.” Cussing in the vernacular.
After the third time the Lord looked at Peter.
Peter realized what he had done and departed, weeping bitterly.

But, Jesus had already told him that when he was restored he was to strengthen the brethren.

There was hope, even before failure.

Live in the strength of the Lord, not the strength of the flesh.
Know that He is our Hope.
