Get behind Me Satan.

My Savior and my Redeemer. 

Jesus Christ is the Messiah. He is also the Way, the Truth and the Life. 

"Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi. Along the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 

"They said in reply, “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.” 

"And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” 

"Peter said to him in reply, “You are the Christ.” Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him.

"He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days. He spoke this openly.

"Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. At this he turned around and, looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” (Mark 8: 27 - 33).

The Gospel today separates prosperity Christians from real Communion of the Saints Christians. We Christians on earth are on a pilgrimage to heaven. This is the period of purification and walking the way of the Cross with Jesus. 

"He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days. He spoke this openly." 

Jesus spoke about His cross openly. In the Communion of the Saints, the Church Triumphant are the holy ones who walked with Christ the Way of the Cross and are today enjoying their reward in heaven. 

“But who do you say that I am?” Jesus is asking you today. If your reply includes: You are the Christ. You are the Way, the Truth and Life, then you may understand the necessity to follow Jesus Christ in His Way.
