Gospel of Mark, Chapters 8/9, verses 34-1
Jesus picks up from where he left off in his chastening of Peter, this time inviting the crowd (read: you and me!) around to hear it. The ultimate question? Who is leading whom? If we are leading, we will often end up in the exact wrong spot - placing ourselves, our ego and our comfort in the center. If Jesus is leading, it's going to go places not only unexpected but also unwanted. Do we trust Him enough to follow on that road?
