Grace for your spirit March 6, 2013

Grace for your spirit
And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed and after three days rise again.  Mark 8:31

The apostle Peter had an immediate response to this message from Jesus.  Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke Him for this pronouncement.  Why?  Jesus told him he was setting his mind on his own interests instead of God's.  True. Peter was primarily interested in their rise to power and prestige.  He wanted victory over the enemy and couldn't see this path Jesus described.  Are we in for the will of God or our own victory?  Let's get on the same page with Him.
