Thanks to Lee Cory for kicking off the New Testament with a look at Matthew, the first of four gospel accounts of Jesus. As he noted, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John each have a different perspective that they convey in their books.
This week Katherine Kerr will introduce Mark's gospel and will focus on Mark 8:27-30:
Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?" And they answered him, "John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets." He asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Messiah." And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.
The class will look at Jesus's question, "who do you say that I am?" What do we learn about the surprising identity of Jesus as Messiah, and what does that mean for us today?
