So think about this: When Peter insists that he is even willing to die for Jesus, Jesus tells him, “No, you’ll betray Me. You’ll deny Me—three times. But don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in me. I’m going to prepare a special place for you—and I’m coming back to get you!” Jesus wouldn’t even let hypocrisy, betrayal, backstabbing, lying, and abandonment stop Him from loving Peter. He saw something in Peter that Peter could not have possibly seen in himself.
