Weakness, defeat, despair and despair are replaced by the grace of Christ. Indeed, the matter of His death and His resurrection He himself has clearly taught His disciples to know, for example:
“21 Since that time Jesus began to reveal to his disciples: He must go to Jerusalem. and will suffer many things from the elders. and the high priests and the scribes until he was executed but on the third day he will be raised again. 22 Peter held his hand in protest, saying, “Lord, let the incident that is far from him Let it not be that way to him.” 23 Then he turned his face and said to Peter, “Oh Satan, go away. You are our obstacle. because you think like a man not thinking like a god.” 24Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself. and take up his cross and follow me 25 For whoever wishes to save his life that person will die but who will die for my sake? that person will be saved 26 For if anyone gains the whole world but loses his life What benefit will that person have? or what will he bring in exchange for his life? 27 For when the Son of Man comes in the glory of the Father and with his angels then will reward every man according to his deeds. 28 I tell you the truth, among you standing here There are some who do not know the taste of death. until he sees the Son of Man coming with his power.” Matthew 16:21-28
and in many other dharmas It was said as well, “Because God loves the world. until he gave his only begotten Son so that whoever believes in the Son will not perish. but has eternal life.” John 3:16 and John 1:1-14 (learn more).

“He said to him a third time, “Simon son of John Do you love me?” Peter was distressed as he asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” So he said to him, "Lord He knows everything He knows that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.” John 21:17
