In Chapter 16 of Matthew's Gospel, we read of the moment Peter came to a logical conclusion that Jesus (the Son of God, truly God in the flesh) should not be subject to crucifixion and death. Peter's logical conclusion led to a proclamation he made to Jesus, "God forbid Lord, no such thing shall ever happen to you!" (Mt 16:22). Jesus swiftly rebuked Peter for "thinking not as God does, but as human beings do." Jesus was teaching Peter, and us too, that we need a radical dependence on God especially in our thought life!
