In our Lenten journey that we know leads to the cross we must always be honest about our hesitancy to do the right thing when it is the hard thing to do. Mark 8:31-38 is our guide today and we see Peter, who has acknowledged that Jesus is the Messiah and yet doesn’t want to let Jesus define what that means. In this interaction between Peter and Jesus, we see a struggle with the road that is ahead. How do we learn to lean into God’s grace when the path before us is going to be difficult?
