+ Read Scripture

Matthew 16:21-23

21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, "Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you." 23 But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man."

Talk Sheet Questions

  1. Why do you think Jesus chose this time to begin to show his disciples that he would suffer? Why not earlier? Why show them at all? (21)

  2. If you were Peter, would you be excited about Jesus going to Jerusalem to suffer or would you argue with him, too? Explain.  (22)

  3. How does verse 23 connect to the temptation of Jesus in 4:8-10?

  4. What makes Peter a hindrance to Jesus? (23)

  5. What are your favorite ways to set your mind on the things of man rather than the things of God?

Prayer

Pray we will mind the things of God not on things of man!
