James 2:1-9; Ps 34; Mark 8:27-33

The turning point

We read today the turning point of Mark’s Gospel. Jesus had been teaching his disciples for nearly 3 years, and at Caesarea Philippi, a place where people had worshipped various gods throughout history, he asked them the critical question “who am I?” Assured that they knew the answer, he turned back and led them towards his transfiguration and later death and resurrection at Jerusalem. Do you know Jesus and follow wherever he leads?
