The Servant-Savior: Turning Point - Mark 8:27-9:8

By this point in Mark's Gospel it is clear that Jesus is more than an ordinary man and everyone is suspecting that He had a connection with God the world had never seen. Some were spectulating, hoping that He could be the long-awaited Messiah, but they weren't really sure what all that would entail. In this message, we hear Jesus respond to Peter's famous confession by detailing and clarifying what Messiah actually meant. More specifically, Jesus began to disclose the ontological phenomenon that made His status as Messiah so unique and extraordinary. Listen as we hear Jesus emphasize both His humanity and His divinity. Jesus' dual ontology is the distinction between Him and any other faith leader or would-be messiah. It is also what makes Christianity the exclusive way to God and the only means of redemption and restoration for sinful humanity. P.S. If you can guess what the thumbnail is referring to, great is your reward in Heaven.
