Mark 8:31-38
Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
31 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And he said this plainly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men.”
34 And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? 37 For what can a man give in return for his life? 38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
Pastor Donn,
I have always been more than a little bit puzzled by the differences in the 4 gospels. I finally came to grips with it by realizing people see and process the same events differently and what matters to one person as a major thing is viewed as something minor to another. Then I came to realize that it is an amazing thing that the gospels agreed on so much! Thank you for your weekly Bible Studies, they make me think and at my age that is a very good thing! God Bless!
Thank you Pastor Donn for all of the ways you continue to reach out to us through technology. I appreciate being able to watch, listen, & be fed spiritually by this blessing. I miss my in person church family but it’s wonderful to be able to participate online!
God Bless & Keep You Always!
