Jesus assures His followers of a Kingdom prepared for them, yet He turns to Peter with a solemn warning about Satan’s desire to test his faith. Despite Peter’s bold declaration of loyalty, Jesus foretells his imminent denial. The passage highlights the tension between human frailty and divine purpose, emphasizing the importance of faith and conversion. As Jesus prepares for His crucifixion, He instructs His disciples to equip themselves for the challenges ahead, marking a shift from divine provision to self-reliance.
