"Peter said to him, 'Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you.' And all the disciples said the same thing." (Matthew 26:35 NET)
Peter sounds completely ready to die for or with Jesus at this moment. The other disciples agree.
"At that he began to curse, and he swore with an oath, 'I do not know the man!' At that moment a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: 'Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.' And he went outside and wept bitterly." (Matthew 26:74,75 NET)What happened to that resolve in the short length of time before the rooster crowed?
And what happens to our resolve when we fail in keeping a commitment to Him?
