Mark 8:27–33
Jesus
went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way
he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” And they answered him, “John
the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” He
asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the
Messiah.” And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him. Then he
began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be
rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and
after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him
aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, he
rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind
not on divine things but on human things.”
Reflection
What is my image of God at the present moment? How it is different from what I profess?
What
is my concern at the moment? Is it a human concern or Jesus’ concern?
