Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 16:21-27
Jesus corrects Peter who did
not understand when Jesus said he would go
to Jerusalem to suffer, die, and rise
again. Peter, like many others, expected
Jesus to be a conquering Messiah. Then
Jesus tells Peter that he is not judging
by God’s standards but by man’s.
Peter had not yet realized that Jesus was
going to save us by the cross, and that
every disciple must also accept the cross.
It will be a part of the life for all his
disciples, for all who follow him.
1.) Why has the word cross come to
mean suffering and sacrifice? What did
Jesus show us about suffering?
2.) What cross do you think you or
others have to carry right now? How can
you show you are willing to carry
it?
