The 1st season finale in the gospel of Mark ends with a confession by Peter towards the end of chapter 8. "You are the Christ!" It's such a relief after watching episode after episode of stupefying moments of spiritual blindness. And just when you are ready to exhale, "Finally!" Peter is blind-sided by Jesus. So offensive was Jesus' comment about himself, that Peter rebukes Jesus in the same way he saw Jesus rebuke the demons.
