From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

What is the opposite of sharp? **DULL**
As believers, when we are not working together and holding one another up, we are actually weakening ourselves and proving to be less effective because we are fighting as one and not as a body.
As we invite others into our lives, to know of our challenges and our obstacles, we actually find healing and blessings from it. And as we sit here tonight, so many of you have people in here you call your friends, and some your best friends. I challenge you, if you are truly best friends, are you bringing each other closer to Jesus? Because as a believer, the individuals who drive us closer to Jesus should be the ones we welcome into our lives as our "best friends".
