Then Jesus answered, “Will you really lay down your life for me? Very truly I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times!” John 13:38 NIV

What is the purpose of the first statement Jesus makes in this verse? What I believe Jesus wanted to convey to Peter, and to us today is that if we wish to boast, boast not of ourselves and what we do, but boast of Jesus and what He has done. The world sets many traps and throws out stumbling blocks, and we are certain to fall at times. But Christ never falls in His conquering this world and what is thrown against us. Like it or not, there will be times when we deny Christ through our actions and words. But in Him is strength to restore us. In Him is grace and peace and love. In Him is our salvation.
