It seemed like he was defeated, as if suffering and the powers that put him on the cross had won the day. Then, in what will forever be the greatest reversal, Jesus accomplished total victory over every power. He did it through suffering and he did it for us. Jesus’ triumph is ours to celebrate. His thinking, in the midst of suffering, is ours to imitate. Are you facing temptation, opposition or suffering? Peter invites us to hold onto Jesus’ triumph and take on Jesus’ thinking.
