Jesus' response to Peter was so dramatic. He attributed it to a revelation from the Father in heaven, when he proclaimed that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.
Whereas He attributed it to Satan, when he called Him aside and advised Him not to say of such things as death and all. Jesus further responded saying, "You are seeing things merely from a human point of view not from God's" Matt:16:23
Man's logic and reasoning and wisdom and knowledge and thought process are all fallen, just like man is. Man is so helpless that He can think of fallen ways alone. Only when he thinks in God's perspective will he be able to rise above that and be wise, and see things in a better view. The view in which it is supposed to be looked at. For that we need faith. Not 'seeing is believing'. But hoping for things which are not seen. Seeing things in the spiritual realm, which becomes tangible only by grace.
Seeking Him and His grace, will help you out of this rut you are terribly in. The divine hand is already extended to pull you out of that ditch. Cross is just a beginning of the journey called abundant life, life to the fullest. Would you hold His hand and walk it would you still logically reason out.
