John 13:37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” 38 Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow till you have denied me three times.

Peter was willing to die for Christ, but God was calling him to live out a mission. His denial of Christ, followed by repentence, galvanized his dedication to this life.
