In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 16, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed—and on the third day be raised. Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him, saying, "God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you." Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do." So, it is important that we always see clearly what God's will is before we say or do as human beings do. Seek to attain union with God so that we may think as he does.
