Matthew 16 - Day 112 (link to reading plan)
Scripture: Matthew 16:13-28 Observation: Jesus asks his disciples/apprentices, "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." Delighted, Jesus affirms Peter's declaration, then prepares them for his death. Confused, Peter tries to correct Jesus but the Lord dismissed him by saying, "Get away from me, Satan!" Application: How quickly the tide can change. In less than a minute, Peter the hero becomes less than zero by pushing his agenda. Jesus on the other hand, only does the will of His Father. The key is to die to self, take up your cross and follow Jesus' example. Prayer: Lord teach me Your ways. Comments are closed.
