This powerful exploration of Mark 8:27-35 confronts us with the most important question we will ever answer: Who do we say Jesus is? While others saw Him as John the Baptist, Elijah, or just another prophet, Peter boldly declared, 'You are the Christ.' Yet even Peter's correct answer revealed a dangerous misunderstanding when he rebuked Jesus for speaking about suffering and death. We discover that knowing Jesus is the Messiah means nothing if we strip away the cross from our understanding.
