Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion
- Read Mark 8:22-33. Mark is the only gospel writer to record this healing miracle. Why is this healing, with the process Jesus goes through, so important to the overall message of Mark?
- How does Peter know Jesus is the Christ? What does Peter understand at this point about Jesus being the “Christ”? What does he still have to learn?
- How is the rebuke of Peter encouraging to us? Why would Jesus equate Peter with Satan?
- Why is the process of discipleship so difficult? How can we fight discouragement on the way? What does God want to accomplish in the process?
