the stone a stumbling block

“Get behind me, Satan!”,
what that must have felt like
to hear the Son of God
cut him with these words
No rebuke greater
uttered by Jesus
Peter who would lead the church
cut by Christ’s words
The stone a stumbling block
on the path of Jesus
told to get away
to move out of Christ’s way
what that must have felt like
I can hardly imagine
the Christ, the Messiah
cutting him to the quick.
