Eternity’s View
From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that it is necessary for Him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and to be killed, and to be raised on the third day.
And Peter having taken Him aside, began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord! This never will be to You!”
And having turned, He said to Peter, “Get behind Me Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For your thoughts are not of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Peter was in fellowship with Jesus. Peter had conversations with Jesus day and night. Jesus had just spoken with Peter. Peter still became an adversary to Jesus by having his values built on human ideas instead of ideas that Yahweh was thinking. Evaluating anything without the light of eternity as the strength of revelation is likely to end in error. Whether the answer seems correct or rational or not, getting perspective from an eternal viewpoint will expose truth and value and purpose and path.
But as it is written:
What no eye has seen and no ear has heard,
and what has never come into a man’s heart,
is what God has prepared for those who love Him.
Now God has revealed them to us by the Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the concerns of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the concerns of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, in order to know what has been freely given to us by God.
