Listen and think
"And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things . . . be killed . . . and after three days rise again." (Mark 8:31)
At this point Peter rebuked Him.
But why?
I think he only heard the first part of the statement and it so busted the scenario he had envisioned that nothing else registered. He didn't really listen and think . . . the Lord was going to personally RISE FROM THE DEAD!
Unfortunately, this malady is quite common. I too, so very often, read the Word, see the statements, hear the message from the Lord, but don't stop to listen and think about what HE IS REALLY SAYING!
