The path to Discipleship is not without its Pain and Suffering.
Short-term loss is sometimes necessary for long-term gain, as a student studying, or an athlete training, can testify. When have you found that denying yourself proved to be worthwhile because of what you gained afterwards? In today’s gospel, Jesus is teaching his followers that the path of discipleship would involve pain and suffering. His friend, Peter, would have none of it. Sometimes friends have a mistaken idea of what is for our good. What lessons have you learned about handling bad advice from a good friend? Jesus knew that because his good news message was not acceptable to the authorities he would suffer and die. Despite this, he trusted that the power of God would overcome evil. Have you seen a good news message survive even though opponents tried to stifle it? Jesus promised that those who suffer for the kingdom would be rewarded. Perhaps, even in this earthly life, you have experienced reward for faithful discipleship. What have these rewards been?
