158:7.4 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] [[spoke]] thus because he [[love]]d [[Jesus]]; but [[the Master]]'s [[human]] [[nature]] [[recognized]] in these [[words]] of well-meant [[affection]] the subtle suggestion of [[temptation]] that he [[change]] his [[policy]] of pursuing to the end his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 earth bestowal] in [[accordance]] with the will of his [[Paradise Father]].

In this way do you make your [[love]] for me a stumbling block to my [[doing the Father's will]]. [[Mind]] not the ways of men but rather the will of [[God]]. "
