The Other Kind of Temptation

Peter’s temptation of Jesus at Caesarea Philippi, warning Jesus away from his path to the cross, is the kind of temptation we might meet at any moment in daily life.  It can come in the voice of a friend, a teacher, a family member who loves us and wants “the best” for us–and to protect us from ugly repercussions. Lent is our time for attention and practice so that we may stay steady on the path of following Jesus.
