Short Today

Not much time to write today. But something I found in my quiet time.

"And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again. And he said this plainly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. But turning and seeing the disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man." And he called to the crowd with his disciples and said to them, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it." Matthew 8: 31-35

Some questions to ponder:

How did Satan work in this instance?

What does it mean to deny yourself and take up your cross?

What does it look like when you lose your life for Christ?

Hope all are blessed!
