Pentecost 16 -- Matthew 16

Readings

Jeremiah 15:15-21
Psalm 26
Romans 12:9-21
Matthew 16:21-28

Following his confession of Jesus as "Son of the Living God" and "Messiah," Peter lashes out at Jesus' passion prediction. Jesus rebukes Peter's temptation to take power by the sword, and instead continues down the path of the true revolution of bearing one's cross.
