Note 3 at Mk. 14:29: Just like Peter, we often are more confident of ourselves than God is. Many Christians are devastated when they fail in some area that they thought they had long since grown past. We need to realize that as long as we are in this mortal body, we cannot fall asleep at our battle station against the works of the flesh (Gal. 5:19- 21). If we do, our flesh is just as capable of sin as anyone else's.

If we fall, it should concern us but not surprise us. We should simply realize with Paul that "in my flesh dwelleth no good thing" (Rom. 7:18), get back into the spirit through confession and forgiveness, and go on with Jesus.
