From Luke 22:31-34, the Lord foretold Peter's denial, and He prayed for Peter in advance. He also knew that Peter would turn back to Him again and be able to strengthen his brothers. The Lord was full of hope for Peter. Though Peter fell, the Lord’s personal love for him did not diminish even a bit. Furthermore, it’s written in John how the Lord helped those who had a personal encounter with Him. John 21 mentioned about the Risen Lord, how He prepared a barbeque for the disciples, and talked to Peter. The Lord loved and cared for Peter and others at that time. Today, the Lord’s love and care for us is the same.
