     | 9,126 views

    In order to follow Jesus, we must take the same road that He took. In Mark 8:27-38, we see who Jesus is and what it means to follow Him on the ``Road Less Traveled``. In this we see: 1) The Disciple's Confession (Mark 8:27-33) and 2) The Disciple's Lifestyle (Mark 8:34-38)

    Mark 8:27-33 [27] And 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?" [28] And they told him, "John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets." [29] And he ...read more
