Mark 8:27 - 8:38
Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
In this passage, Peter identifies Jesus as the Messiah, and Jesus tells his disciples for the first time that he will soon be rejected, killed, and rise again in three days. Despite Peter's correct identification, he later rebukes Jesus for speaking of his coming death and resurrection, which Jesus warns is against God's values. Jesus emphasizes the importance of denying oneself and following him, even to the point of sacrificing one's own life, as Christianity involves a continual renewal of the mind and transformation into the likeness of God's thoughts and values.
