(Mis)understanding The Need
Mark Howard
In Mark 8, Jesus begins to teach about his imminent death and resurrection, only to meet with opposition and confusion from his disciples. Verses 27-33 help us understand why, and illustrate two conflicting ideologies: one in which his death is necessary, one in which it’s a waste.
