A Different Direction
Peter had wholeheartedly responded to the truth about the Christ.
The truth about the cross was something else.
Peter could not accept that.
The man who triumphed gloriously when faced with the deity of Christ, fell flat on his face when faced with the death of Christ.
Godhead was possible to understand; Golgotha was impossible.

Illustration - that is not what I expected.
1994 - I was called into the presidents office about a project we were working on in Yemen.
I thought this conversation would be about a raise and a new office maybe in Europe or the middle east.
Instead was taken off the project give a one room office and told i would be the new head of the environmental division ( one man group) and i had 12 months to make a profit.
That’s nor what i expected!
Peter could not accept that.
The man who triumphed gloriously when faced with the deity of Christ, fell flat on his face when faced with the death of Christ.
Godhead was possible to understand; Golgotha was impossible.
That’s not the direction we need to go!
You are the Christ
Take out our enemies
lets us be rulers
It time for us to be in charge!
But - suffering and death ------ where did this come from .....
Illustration - children are like arrows they need to be aimed at the target!
psalm 1
psalm 127.
Children are like arrows they need to be aimed at the target.
The would will send them one way we are to aim them where we believe God wants them to God!
Peter is finding out the news is not what he wanted to here!
This group is headed for trials and trouble.

The Significant Timing of This Revelation (16:21a)
Peter’s great confession along with the Lord’s revelation concerning the church is one of the major watersheds of the Gospel of Matthew.
Now that you know he is Christ; this is why he came.
“From that time forth,” the Lord spoke more and more about the cross and gave further revelation concerning the church.
Peter is in Shock!
Illustration - that not he way I thought it was heading!
We not are going to be uncomfortable and suffer!
The disciples had scaled the heights; now they must scan the depths.
From now on they must prepare themselves for His final rejection at the hands of the authorities and for His death, which was as certain as the sunset.
Matthew said that the Lord “began” to talk about these things.
He would go on talking about them in the days ahead, adding more details.
This would be mentioned over and over again .......
Children's - spelling test this would be a part of our life for Fridays for over a decade.
You must get this down if not nothing else makes since
Jesus came to die!
No to conquer !
The Startling Truth of This Revelation (16:21b–d)
The Startling Truth of This Revelation (16:21b–d)
He began by concentrating on two aspects of the revelation, one full of hate and the other full of hope.
He indicated that the rulers would conspire against Him and kill Him, but they would not have the last word, for He would rise from the dead.
The disciples hardly heard the hopeful part.
The part that shook them to the core of their being was this:
“He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed” (italics added).
Perhaps they caught the cadence of the ands.
And! And! And!
It was a deliberate drumbeat marking out each step in the onward march of the Son of God.
But they missed the last and, which was just as deliberate, just as decisive: “and be raised again the third day.”
Note the word “must” in 16:21.
It is stated once, but implied throughout.
We could state the thought this way: “The One you have just confessed as Son of God must go to Jerusalem and must suffer many things and must be killed and must be raised again.”
The point of danger was Jerusalem, but Jesus could not stay away from Jerusalem because that “must” came thundering out of eternity.
Christ’s death was decided before the foundation of the world, before the beginning of time.
He had come into the world to die.
Events must take their course.
Men would kill Him; God would resurrect Him.
The cross would become God’s instrument for providing salvation to men.
The “must” came out of the past and blazed the way into the future ages of eternity.
The “must” of the resurrection was an integral part of the divine plan.
