And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift [you] as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to [Me,] strengthen your brethren.” But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.” Then He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.” (Luke 22:31-34)
This is one of the events leading to Christ’s crucifixion. Peter is expressing his allegiance to God and is convinced that he can never deny the faith.
Jesus’ response to him is a reminder to us as believers that we cannot sustain our walk with God, apart from Him.
It is God’s grace through the Holy Spirit that leads us to Him, and the same grace sustains our walk upto the very end.
