Grace for your spirit
Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You. Matthew 16:22
Peter wanted to serve the Lord, but often only in an "advisory capacity". Jesus had just said He would build His church, and that was all right. Then Jesus said that He was going to die on the cross, and that was unacceptable. Peter felt it was his responsibility to straighten the Lord out on this issue. Peter did this quite often, usually followed by some promise that it would be over his dead body. The next time we read something in scripture, before we take the Lord aside and tell Him how it will really work, may we remember; Jesus is our advisor, not the other way around.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
