So many today are troubled. What should I believe they ask? My parents say this, my teachers say that, and my preacher says something else. So many voices in my head. I want to respect them all, but don’t know who I should believe. Jesus told the disciples that, “He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.” (Matt. 16:21) Then Peter took Jesus aside and said, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” (v.22) then something revealing happened. Jesus in verse 23 said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are [d]an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” In this if you listen you’ll see three voices–Satan–Peter–God. Only one is wise, the others think they are. Only one is worth listening too, that would be God. We know what He said, because it is all recorded for us in the Bible.
