Without question, Peter's words expressed much pride and self-confidence. And the Lord knew how to humble him! But these words also expressed the true devotion of his heart. And he proved it. In the end Peter went with his Lord both to prison and to death! Are we ready to go with our Master? A disciple is ready to go with his Master wherever his Master is pleased to lead. He weighs neither cost nor consequence, only his Master's will.
