Jesus' Cross, My Cross, Matthew 16:21-27

Fr. Jeremiah Caughran Jesus' Cross, My Cross, Matthew 16.21-27

Though St. Peter confessed rightly that Jesus is the Messiah, when Jesus begins teaching what the Messiah must do, St. Peter takes him aside and rebukes him. Why does he do this? How do we do this in our own lives? And what must we do to avoid doing this in our lives always?
