To Save Your Life
Foretelling his suffering and rejection
Jesus spoke of coming crucifixion.
When by Peter rebuked,
“By Satan you've been duped;
you're thinking with human perception.”
“If you lose your life for my sake you'll save it,
but gaining the world your life would be forfeit.
For this worldly fame
would put you to shame
when the Son of Man in glory abhors it.”
Mark 8.31-38
