In the final moments before His arrest, Jesus had a profound conversation with Peter and His disciples, preparing them for the challenges they were about to face. Luke 22:31-38 reveals not only the promise of danger but also the assurance of supernatural defense and spiritual development. As Jesus told Peter that Satan sought to sift him like wheat, He didn’t leave Peter in despair. Instead, He promised that He had already prayed for Peter and that Peter’s failure wouldn’t be the end of his story—it would be part of his development.

This message explores how Jesus equips His followers for the inevitable trials of life. Through Peter’s impending denial, we see the humanity of failure and the divine power of restoration. Jesus reminds His disciples—and us—that we have an Advocate who intercedes for us even when we stumble. This conversation serves as a reminder that our failures aren’t fatal, and God’s grace is more than enough to carry us through our struggles. Join us as we unpack how Jesus' promises of danger, defense, and development remain just as relevant for believers today.
