The way of all men

Glen Scrivener continues looking at Jesus' temptations and what they mean for us. Here's a sample from Glen's look at Matthew 16:
Peter thought the things of God were the things of power, prestige, safety and comfort. Jesus says, No, those things are the things of men. And, shockingly, the things of men are the things of Satan.

It couldn’t be clearer could it? Satan’s way is the way of all men – the way of comfort, the way of self, the way of safety. Christ’s way (which is God’s way) is the way of the cross, and He calls every follower to it (v24ff).
Good point. The whole series is worth reading at Christ the Truth.
