Peter made the mistake of not hearing Jesus when he was foretold of the response he would have to the Lord’s arrest and crucifixion. His problem was the expression of what he thought of himself when he spoke contrary to what proceeded from the mouth of the Lord — Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!” And so said all the disciples. {Matthew 26:35}.

The lesson we all can learn from Peters experience is that the word of the Lord stands above our opinion of ourselves. If Peter would have had the discipline to “Hear Him”, he would have agreed with the word of the Lord and sought strength rather than proclaiming strength that he did not poses. Much grief and sorrow could have been avoided.
