Would Jesus call you (or your church) Satan? (TAW038)

Episode 038 – Would Jesus call you (or your church) Satan?

“Get behind me, Satan!” Those are the words Jesus said to Peter. Yikes! But as I survey the current landscape of Christianity, I wonder if Jesus is saying this to us, or to our churches. In this episode, I reflect on what Jesus meant when he said these words to his friend, and what they might mean for us.

Show Notes
  • Read the scripture passages for yourself.
    • The story: Matthew 16:21-28
      • The background of Peter’s declaration. Matthew 16:13-20
      • Paul’s eloquent description of the Christian attitude toward power: Phil 2:3-11
      • The Hebrew root and meaning for the word Satan.
      • May you Have the courage to let go of power, to use what you’ve been given to serve others, to use your privilege to bring more people to the table, to use your vote to speak for those who our society considers least. May you follow the peaceful path of Jesus into other-centered co-suffering love.
