John13:36-38 Peter is telling Jesus what he knows about himself and how he will choose to follow Him and die with Jesus. So Jesus gives Peter and insight into what Peter will actually do when tested to follow Jesus. He tells Peter before the sun fully rises you will deny me three times. Wow! Understand as much as Peter humanly can, he loves and trust Jesus. That is why Jesus is telling Peter He must go. Not so He will make Peter look worthless, weak, and a lier. He loves Peter and He wants the best for Peter and you. The best for us is to know our God and to make much of our God. That is the only true joy.
So trials come to show us that He is with us and that we can trust Him. Our faith is in Him and what He can do through us. This what Peter wrote after Being filled with the Holy Spirit. 1Peter5:6Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. God bless
