Commentary on Matthew 16:22
Peter's rebuke 'Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee' reveals well-meaning but satanic opposition to God's will. The Greek 'hileos' means 'God be merciful/gracious to you,' essentially 'God forbid!' Peter's love for Jesus led him to oppose the cross—and thereby oppose salvation itself. Reformed theology recognizes that even believers can speak against God's purposes when trusting human wisdom over divine revelation. The cross was essential; opposition to it, however loving, served Satan's purposes.
