What is our Caesarea Philippi?

Some say you’re John the Baptist; and

others, Elijah; and still others, one of the

prophets.

Who do people say I am?

The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son

of God. Mark 1:1 (NRSV)

What is our expectation of God, the Christ, the Messiah?

Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man

must undergo great suffering, and be

rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the

scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise

again. Mark 8:31 (NRSV)

Would YOU want to follow

that?

Hope for the journey
