Peter's Vested Interest in Jesus Not Suffering

Peter has a vested interest in Jesus not suffering, as his fate and position as a follower is tied to Jesus being crowned king in Jerusalem instead of facing death. Jesus reprimanded Peter for his stance by saying 'get behind me Satan,' indicating that Peter was obstructing God's plan for him. Some individuals, out of a desire to maintain the status quo, may discourage others from following a path of dissent or sacrifice, even if it aligns with God's calling. This resistance could come from family, friends, or society, who prioritize comfort and success over spiritual growth and commitment.
