The Cross as the weapon in following JesusLord Jesus, I thank you for the many crosses in my life. You and I are waiting anxiously to see and touch Jesus Christ the Messiah, who brings us liberation from all the difficulties of life. When Peter stopped Jesus, Jesus rebuked him saying “Get behind me Satan” (v.33), implying that Peter wasn’t walking the way of God and he had the wrong vision, purpose and way. Jesus teaches us and his disciples today the path of victory from suffering, the way of the cross. The cross is the only weapon given to us in following Jesus.
