Not In The Bible Part 2

Get Behind Me Satan

Matthew 16:21–23 ESV

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.”

Matthew 16:21-

Jesus uses this phrase on Peter because he knows that Peter’s focus is on the kingdom of Israel and not on the kingdom of God.

Peter’s response to the information Jesus is telling his disciples is because he wants Jesus to be Israel’s king.

Jesus knows that Peter is being influenced by Satan.

Peter probably doesn’t even know it.

How can we avoid being influenced by Satan?

By doing more than spending time with Jesus, we must also have a Jesus world world view.

Peter saw the world through his own world view, but we must be able to look through Jesus glasses.

What Does the Bible Say about Happiness?

Psalm 1 ESV

1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; 6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
