Let God Speak! Mark's Gospel

Day 27: Mark 8:31- 9:1 

Jesus Predicts His Death

Peter did not like the teaching that Jesus was destined to die and rise again. Our natural selves hate the idea of sacrifice because it is a difficult path. Jesus used this opportunity to rebuke that thought in Peter and to lay down the sacrificial pattern for discipleship.

Have a think about the exchange that Jesus requires for us to follow him.

Ask God to show you what that means and what practical things in life need correcting to allow you to follow Jesus.
