God bless

That is a very common phrase for me, as it seems that the harder I try to get closer to Christ, Satan rears his ugly self-centered self!

 

[Boanerges(Inactive)]

But Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are an offense to me, because you are not thinking God's thoughts but human thoughts!"



God bless

A good scripture- what the natural man sees as good and right is generally in direct opposition to the will of God.

 

[Jon-Marc]

Peter certainly didn't want to see His Lord crucified and was upset at the idea. However, the devil was using him to try to talk Jesus out of His mission--to die for the lost.
