Read Matthew 16:21-28
21 From
that time on Jesus began to say plainly to his disciples, “I must go to
Jerusalem and suffer much from the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers
of the Law. I will be put to death, but three days later I will be raised to
life.”
22 Peter
took him aside and began to rebuke him. “God forbid it, Lord!” he said. “That
must never happen to you!”
23 Jesus
turned around and said to Peter, “Get away from me, Satan! You are an obstacle
in my way, because these thoughts of yours don’t come from God, but from human
nature.”
24 Then
Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come with me, he must forget
self, carry his cross, and follow me. 25For whoever wants to save his
own life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26Will
people gain anything if they win the whole world but lose their life? Of course
not! There is nothing they can give to regain their life. 27For
the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and
then he will reward each one according to his deeds. 28I assure you
that there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Son of Man
come as King.”
Think
When Jesus speaks of his
death Peter rebukes him. Jesus says:
"These thoughts of yours
don't come from God, but from human nature."
