Man Talk

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Dean Eklund from Wichita, KS. Your partnership with us through Project 23 is helping people put the Cross before the Crown. This one's is for you. Our text today is Mark 8:31-33: And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again. And he said this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man." — Mark 8:31-33 Peter had just confessed Jesus as the Christ—the long-awaited King. But then Jesus starts talking about suffering, rejection, death, and resurrection. It was not exactly the victory speech they expected of a King. And we can tell Peter can't handle this part of the message. H
