Get thee behind me Satan!

Peter made a wonderful confession and Jesus praised him. Pride arose. Christ began to share with them his coming sufferings. Satan entered Peter and used him to tempt Jesus not to go to the cross. Christ rebuked Satan and Peter. Our duty when tempted is to dismiss Satan, "Get thee behind me Satan". Peter had been guilty of a worldly approach and rejecting the necessity for the atonement with its suffering for Christ. Resist the devil!
