Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things."
Matthew 8:31-33
Have you ever been encouraged to do something that you knew in that moment would not be wise or for the ultimate good? How did you assert your own sense of what was the right path to take? Did you say (in some way or another) "Get behind me Satan?" Did you try their suggestion (not wanting to make waves) and then make a mid course correction?
