12. The King's Call

Mark 8:31-38We have a lot of options when it comes to what we can follow. In the Gospel of Mark, the shortest and most action-filled of the four gospels, Jesus asks us a question: “who do you say that I am?” This question is actually the defining question of our lives, because it reveals what we follow.  The Gospel of Mark has good news for us—in it, we see Jesus demonstrating his power, authority, and priorities, along the way helping us answer his eternally important question. Walking alongside Jesus, we will see what it means to follow him, and why it’s worth it.
