    We can see how quickly satan can attack. In a short time Peter went from confessing Jesus to rebuking Jesus. Jesus teaches us how we can be on guard against our wiley foe as well as how to live with purpose for Him.

We hear about how Jesus must suffer many things and that we are called to take up our cross and follow Jesus. ...read more
