Jesus Called His Apostle Satan?! 😳

Shawn Ryan Show0m 49s

A religious educator explains how Jesus selected his apostles for their diverse gifts and potential, illustrating how Jesus corrected Peter's misunderstanding about his impending suffering by calling him Satan for thinking like humans rather than God. After the Resurrection and Pentecost, these apostles became the foundation of the Church's sacramental and teaching authority.

Summary

The transcript discusses the selection and role of Jesus's apostles in Christian history. The speaker explains that Jesus directly chose his apostles, who were a diverse group rather than homogeneous—including figures like John the Evangelist and Peter (described as a tax collector), as well as brothers James and John, called the 'sons of thunder' for their zealousness. Jesus recognized specific spiritual gifts in each man that would serve his pastoral mission.

A significant teaching moment occurred when Jesus announced his impending suffering and death to save humanity. Peter objected to this prediction, saying it could not happen. In response, Jesus told Peter, 'Get behind me, Satan,' explaining that Peter was thinking like a human rather than like God. This rebuke illustrates Jesus's correction of Peter's incomplete understanding of divine plan.

Following Jesus's Passion, death, and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the apostles became the authoritative ministers of the Church. They performed the sacraments including baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist, administered anointing of the sick, and taught the faith with authority along with the moral requirements incumbent upon believers.

Key Insights

  • Jesus selected his apostles based on recognizing specific spiritual gifts in each individual that would serve his pastoral mission, rather than choosing based on uniformity or prior religious training

  • After the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, the apostles received full authority to administer the sacraments, teach the faith, and establish moral requirements for believers
