Matthew 16:13-20

God’s Exhortations - Joshua 1:6-9  Be strong and very courageous.  Do according to all the law.  Do not turn from it to the right or the left.  Meditate on and speak God’s word.  Do not fear. In preparations for the battles to be fought, we need to hear the message, keep focused!

What Jesus said… In Matthew 16:21 we read that Jesus began to tell/show His disciples that He “must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things…, and be killed, and be raised on the third day”. The context?

What Peter Said…  Verse 22 records that Peter “took Him aside and began to rebuke Him saying, ‘God forbid it Lord! This shall never happen to you.’”  The impetuousness of Peter. Matthew 17:1-10  Did Peter really understand what he was suggesting? What was Peter’s mindset? Where was his focus?

Lesson #1  Think about what we have to say and think about our thought process when we do.

 What Peter did…  Took Jesus aside…  What Peter said…  He “began” to rebuke Him.  “God forbid it Lord! This shall never happen to you”  Will we decide God’s will for ourselves? Will we quarrel with our Maker?

 Why would Peter say this?  Where was his focus? Spiritual or Physical?  Pattern of thinking this way… Acts 1:6; Matthew 20:21  What type of love are we displaying in our life? John 21:15-17  Peter was letting his phileo love govern his life.

Lesson #2  Let agape love rule your life & your relationships rather than phileo love and see the big picture.

Jesus' Response  Get behind Me Satan  Literally Satan?  The word "Satan“ means "an adversary," or one who opposes us in the accomplishment of our designs.  The thoughts expressed by Peter were opposed to Jesus and His plans and purpose.

Jesus' Response  Jesus had the weight (sin) of the world on His shoulders…  Another way? Matthew 26:39, 42  Focus on Jesus' mission.  Similar to Paul in Acts 21:13

Jesus' Response  You are a stumbling block to Me.  A snare, an occasion to fall.  Have we determined… Romans 14:13  Woe to him… Luke 17:1-3  Are we our own worst enemies? Matthew 18:7-9

Lesson #3  What is your mission and purpose in life?  Are we doing anything to hinder our common mission and purpose in others or ourselves?  Have I become a stumbling block to myself or others?

Jesus' Response  You are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.  What is our mindset? Colossians 3:1-2; Romans 8:6-8.  What is in God’s interest? Deuteronomy 10:12-13  What is in man’s interest? Colossians 1:10; Galatians 1:10

 How do we keep from losing our focus? How do we prevent the obstacles and stumbling blocks in our life?  Consider the context following? Jesus turns to all the disciples and urges them to:  Deny himself  Take up his cross  Follow Jesus  Don’t focus on temporal life but on eternal.

The Good News  Jesus overcame every temptation! Hebrews 4:  Through Christ we can resist the Devil and also overcome. Ephesians 6:13; James 4:7; 1 Peter 5:9
